Beneath the Shattered Star

In a fractured world where dragons are legends and shadows whisper of forgotten magic, a farmboy's fate is etched into the palm of his hand.

Link Bromsson knows little of his past-only that he was born under a dying mother's plea for freedom, raised in the shadow of mountains feared by his village, and marked by a searing touch that binds him to a creature of myth. When a mysterious blue stone thrusts him into a war older than empires, Link must navigate a labyrinth of secrets: a storyteller with a hidden legacy, a dragon whose voice echoes in his soul, and a brotherhood fractured by betrayal.

As ancient powers stir and the Broddring Empire tightens its grip, Link discovers that destiny is a blade with two edges. To protect those he loves, he must confront the bloodline he never chose, forge alliances with enemies-turned-kin, and unravel the truth behind a prophecy that could save or shatter the world.

But destiny is not his only trial. Beyond the Spine's haunted peaks and the elven forests of Ellesméra lies a realm untouched by maps, where a storm washes ashore a stranger with scales and secrets, challenging everything Link believes about loyalty, love, and the cost of redemption.
