Elena endures five bitter years of aristocratic disdain and family condemnation for steadfastly caring for Aether, an impoverished vagrant with a fractured mind and no memories of his origins. Desperate for social status, her greedy relatives attempt to marry her off to Drakon, a corrupt temple prelate who views Elena as a trophy.
When Drakon launches a lethal ambush on the eve of the wedding, mortally stabbing Aether in an alleyway, the bloodshed ruptures a ten-thousand-year celestial seal. Awakening as the supreme Chaos Sovereign who commands the heavens, Aether incinerates the corrupt priesthood and rewrites the laws of mortality to elevate his faithful protector.
