Could he ever have wanted this? Laithrum, the forsaken prince, is thrust from his unloving home and into war. At first, the call felt like insanity, but as he faces harrowing battles, and uncovers the long-buried secrets of his lineage, Laithrum realizes his importance. Back home, his half-sister Freyja is forced into a perilous journey. Violence shatters the palace walls, and Freyja is thrust into a fight for her life. But something stirs within her-a dark and untamed power that she cannot explain. As magic weaves itself deeper, the siblings grapple with the truth they were sheltered from-they had less control than they ever imagined. They are cast into a brutal world teeming with dragons, elves, and mystical creatures they once thought mere legends. Branded as "demons" by those who fear their powers, Laithrum and Freyja must choose: Will they embrace these accusations, or will they rise to challenge the tyrant pulling the strings from the shadows?
