For one thousand years, the people of Aetheria have feared the crimson dragons.

Sixteen-year-old childhood friends Kael and Lyra have spent their entire lives in the quiet village of Larkspur, far from the great kingdoms, ancient ruins, and dangers beyond the mountains.

Their days are ordinary.

Training. Helping around the village. Arguing over small things. Dreaming about someday seeing the world beyond home.

But strange things have begun to happen.

Kael possesses strength he cannot explain.

Lyra hears things no one else can.

Wild creatures react strangely to them.

And somewhere beyond the mountains, something ancient seems to be stirring.

When their peaceful lives begin to unravel, Kael and Lyra are drawn toward a past buried beneath a thousand years of fear, fire, and forgotten history.

A past connected to the legendary Crimson Dragon, Vharagor.

They have always believed they were ordinary.

They are about to discover just how wrong they were.
