The Last Veryn

DRAGON'S DESCENT: THE LAST VERYN In the year 2109, 100 years after the arrival of dragons, society is fractured into clans that rule through absolute mastery of three combat energies: Vorx, Elya, and Rynu. At the top, the Council clans constantly spy on each other, believing the Patriarch Ravaryn is secretly amassing power. Alia Veryn is the walking proof of his supposed conspiracy. Cursed with the Demon Curse Body, Alia is talentless and powerless. Yet, she is the daughter of a legendary High Aegis Officer, Serena Veryn, who was killed protecting her. For fifteen years, Alia has survived in the Patriarch’s household as a meek servant, masking the true liability she represents. To the rival clans, her continued existence proves the Patriarch is hoarding a dangerous bloodline. Forced to expel her to protect his political standing, the Patriarch throws Alia into the deadly Citadel Academy. Alia cannot fight with energy, but she possesses a weapon far more dangerous: the hidden architectural secrets of her forefather, Keylen Veryn, the Disappeared Architect. This ancient knowledge allows her to weaponize her razor-sharp Will and intellect, turning her curse into a concealed advantage. Her goal isn't survival—it's to dismantle the entire system that killed her mother and nearly destroyed the Patriarch. The clans see her as a broken pawn being thrown away. She is about to show them how architects build their revenge.
