Kaizen Valor was forced to be a prince, but only desired freedom. He would one day have to choose...
but fate had other plans.
Stripped of his title, his home, and everything he once knew, Kaizen must navigate a world that costed him everything. The boy who never wanted power must now embrace it to survive.
Kirio, a boy of the Draekor race, has spent his life fighting against the chains that bind his people. Cunning, ruthless, and battle-hardened, he understands the cruelty of the world better than most. His homeland was raided and his disdain for humans was formed.
Kirio and Kaizen must navigate the world, but their fates are entwined in ways neither of them yet understand. As secrets unravel and war looms, the prince without a kingdom and the warrior without a home must decide—will they fight for their own survival, or for something greater?
