William endures daily cruelty as a penniless stable boy under the tyrannical rule of Baron Charlie. Regarded as utterly devoid of magical aptitude, his bleak existence is upended during an unprovoked attack when his blood spills across a dormant stone relic, triggering an ancient crest upon his skin and hatching a slumbering mythical dragon.
With the legendary beast newly bound to his soul, William instantly becomes a hunted fugitive among arrogant aristocrats who view his existence as treason. To protect the woman he loves and seize his prophesied destiny, he must survive lethal combat trials, command untamed fire, and challenge the ruling class.
