The Dragonborn Seal is a symbol of Leandell’s royal authority, and a curse woven into its bloodline. It grants divine powers to control the weather and glimpse the future, but at the cost of devouring the bearer’s emotions and turning them into cold, unfeeling stone. Alvin, a young man from the frontier, carries the last of the Dragonborn blood in his veins. Forced to enter the game of power to protect his village, he must navigate a decadent kingdom, fanatical revolutionaries, and a church whose depths are impossible to fathom. When his former mentor, Lord Rayner, raises the torch of his ideals but seeks to pave the way to a new world with blood, Alvin must make a choice: embrace divine power and become a new “tyrant,” or sever the curse at its root and find ordinary people a way to survive amid the thorns?
