BOOK 1: The Song of Eggs and Souls
Kieran has finally turned eighteen.
The consequence?
He no longer has a choice. Like every young person his age, he must take part in the Selection Trials, a brutal ritual held in every region of the world.
Trials where survival is not a promise... but an exception.
Because here, everything is designed to eliminate. The weakest bodies, the slowest minds, those who hesitate for even a second too long. Temporary alliances, silent betrayals, impossible decisions-each stage brings the candidates closer to only one possible outcome... survive or disappear.
And those who survive are not finished.
Because the Trials are only the beginning.
If they manage to endure until the end, the survivors will be sent to the Celestial Mountain, at the heart of the world, to take part in the Great Egg Hunt.
A unique event.
An ancient ritual.
A controlled chaos where adult dragons return to lay their eggs within a forbidden mountain, while the candidates are released at its summit to search for them.
But an egg is not found.
It is recognized.
The Resonance decides. Not them.
And if Kieran succeeds in surviving the Trials, he will have to face one final choice: to follow a bond he does not yet understand, in a world where every decision can forge an alliance... or start a war.
Because here, nothing is simple.
Not the dragons.
Not the humans.
And certainly not the Resonance.
