Seren should have died the day he was born.
His mother, last princess of Astralith, fell beneath his father’s blade. His bloodline was sealed, his name stripped, and his place in the world reduced to nothing more than a tool to be broken.
Yet Seren is not the helpless child they believe. Behind his quiet gaze lives the mind of a man who has walked another life. He endures where others rage, listens where others boast, and learns from every cruelty the House throws at him.
But Solvera is larger than one family’s cruelty. Eleven human empires vie for power while elves guard ancient forests, dwarves hold their stone fortresses, and beastkin roam the wild lands. From beyond, demons stir in the World of Shadow, and proud celestials descend from the World of Light. Every race hungers. Every realm reaches for more.
And in the middle of it all, a boy watches… guided by a mirror that closes its doors one by one with every drop of blood spilled.
If he survives long enough, Seren may become more than a forgotten bastard. He may become the heir of two worlds.
