A cursed dragon keeper. A woman born of dragonfire. A destiny that demands redemption-or annihilation.
Osric has walked the world for centuries, bound by an ancient curse that grants him immortality but denies him peace. Once a Dragon Keeper sworn to balance fire and flesh, he failed-catastrophically. The cost was everything he loved. Now, he survives only by enduring.
Elara was never meant to exist. Marked by dragonfire and hunted by forces that fear her power, she carries a legacy older than kingdoms and more dangerous than war. Her magic is unstable, her future uncertain-and her very presence threatens to awaken forces long buried.
When fate binds Osric to Elara, the past he has spent lifetimes fleeing rises to confront him. To save her, Osric must face the one truth he has avoided for centuries: redemption demands sacrifice. Not of blood alone-but of immortality itself.
As ancient dragons stir, prophecies unravel, and the line between myth and history collapses, Osric must decide whether ending his curse is worth the price it will exact from the world.
This is not a tale of chosen heroes without cost.
This is a story of guilt, fire, and the unbearable weight of love.
