In the shattered world of Elyra, power is not earned—it is inherited.
From birth, every soul is given a Fragment, a dormant gift left behind by the ancient Dragons who created the world. For most, it remains nothing more than a myth buried within their blood. For nobles, it is power—control over the elements, strength beyond imagination, and the right to rule.
But for the weak?
It never awakens.
Arisle was never meant to be anything.
Born on the outskirts of the Aurelion Kingdom, the son of a simple waitress, his life was small, quiet… insignificant. No noble blood. No power. No future beyond survival.
Until the night everything burned.
A monster descended upon his town—twisted, intelligent, and merciless. Before his eyes, it tore through everything he had ever known… and devoured the only person who mattered.
His mother.
Left broken, powerless, and consumed by rage, Arisle should have died that night.
Instead—
He was chosen.
In a place beyond life and death, a mysterious figure offers him something no one like him should ever possess: a chance to awaken his Fragment.
But Arisle’s Fragment is… wrong.
Not inherited.
Not natural.
And not meant to exist.
Now bound to a power he barely understands, Arisle sets out on a path fueled by one thing alone:
Revenge.
But in a world where power defines worth, where nobles guard their dominance, and where the truth of the Dragons remains buried in blood and lies…
Arisle’s existence itself may become the greatest threat of all.
Because some powers were never meant to awaken.
And some monsters…
Are not born.
