Serena Raizaki has always been an outcast. Born with weak fire magic that others mock, she is seen as a failure in the eyes of the magical world. But what makes her truly despised is the beast bound to her-a dragon-like creature that has been with her since birth. Unlike other mages, whose bonds with magic are invisible, Serena's connection to the beast is well-known, feared, and hated.
The beast, a fiery monster with elemental powers beyond comprehension, is cursed to protect her, no matter how much it loathes humans. Its presence is a constant reminder of the darkness Serena unknowingly carries with her. Despite being its unwilling companion, Serena has no understanding of the true nature of their bond. She sees only the hatred of the world that wants nothing more than to see her destroyed.
In a society that fears and distrusts the beast, Serena is blamed for something she can't control. The very creature that is meant to protect her is the source of her misery, and she lives in constant isolation, surrounded by whispers of her curse. But even in the face of rejection, there are hints of untapped power within Serena-a power that may one day turn the tides in her favor, if only she can unlock it.
The question is: can Serena control her destiny before the beast consumes them both?

When the three Kingdoms hold a meeting with the courts in their Regions, claiming a prophecy was delivered to each, whispers start to stir.
Wrathborn bloodlines? Coming to the Realm? A war brewing?
In a Realm where Sulken - creatures who feed on souls, and are both elemental and eternal - rule, and are shaped by the Gods to punish and preserve, begin to shift, things start going wrong.
Prophecies speak of this and that. Wars and ruins. Conflicts and hidden bloodlines. Creatures of death, and destruction that even the dark can't escape.
Now the Allseers - keepers of the Gods' oldest truths - have named a threat. The wrathborn bloodlines stir with power none are prepared for.
Ayren, a Sulken with a divine power, is on the run with his family and another. Another prophecy shows, and he's sent to the Dark Court for protection.
Then he meets Draxien, the war-born Leader bound to shadows... and to Ayren in ways neither understands.
Their bond is unnatural. Undeniable. And it may be the key to unraveling the truth from the prophecy.
Because across the fractured Courts, a war brews not only for this Realm... but for the next if they're not careful.
Not all written is truth.

Some bloodlines were cursed.
Others were erased.
And some were made to burn the world down.
