The ancient covenant between Vaeloria and Ignis lies in ashes, leaving only the thunder of war. Bound as children beneath the branches of a sacred tree, the dragon prince and the siren princess are now commanders on opposite sides of a bloody field. He breaches the castle walls, his heart a fortress of grief and hardened rage, driven solely by the need to avenge his fallen father. In the shadow of the throne, a sliver of steel catches the torchlight. The cool edge of a sword presses against his jugular. He spins in a fluid motion, his eyes igniting with molten gold, poised to unleash a lifetime of swallowed hatred upon the woman he once adored above all others.
