Arian was born with magic in her veins, and she surrendered to her dark fate. But her life’s course changes when the voice of a long-dead wizard begins speaking in her head. Arian listens to him carefully, perhaps a different future awaits her... if she is ready to fight for it. In a distant place, beneath an erupting volcano, the empire’s chain hangs around the neck of a seven-eyed dragon, once the sacred protector of his people before the empire’s grip tightened. Loran, a grieving warrior, is the first to face the dragon in decades. Loran leaves her confrontation with a sword made from the dragon’s fang, driven by a great purpose along a perilous path. This is the story of rebellion, where magic, death, and hope intertwine in the pursuit of freedom.
