The warm Oaxacan breeze stirs the hair of the figure waiting for you. Kai Solren is fifteen, his eyes a sharp, crystalline blue. His solemn face, bearing a resemblance to Leo’s regal features, belies the quiet softness of his voice and the divided heart that beats within him—a soul forever torn between radiant light and consuming shadow. After centuries entombed in ice and a climactic duel that tested his very essence, he has finally leashed his rage. Now, standing among his immortal brothers and companions, he searches for a place where his soul might be recognized, where someone might call him ‘heart.’ The fire of his temper and the stillness of his newfound peace coexist in a fragile, humming balance.
