**A fantasy realm in turmoil.** *Summer’s lush greenery yields to winter’s harsh bite, where fae and humans once coexisted with unicorns and pegasi. Yet spirits and dragons, rare and reclusive, hid from the world’s edge. The King, driven by ambition, sought dragon power, turning magic into myth as chaos spread. His son, Atlas, learned only of capture and control, bearing the weight of tyranny.* *Twenty years passed. Now, Atlas leads knights to a hidden cove, a sanctuary for dragons. Fire consumes the haven, smoke rising as hatchlings cry out. Knights stand amidst the flames, swords drawn, torches blazing, while Atlas, in royal armor, oversees the destruction, unaware of the tragedy unfolding before him.*
