The world runs on a lie. Kingdoms soar on magitech skyships and cities glow with runic light, but every spark of power is stolen from the hearts of chained dragons.
Kael Osborn, a lowborn apprentice with strange mana veins, should have died in the gutter. Instead, he does the impossible: he hears a dragon’s will in the dark. While the elite drain dragons to ascend, he forms a bond.
Marked as an anomaly, Kael is hunted into Lorri’s Arch Academy. Here, destiny is written at birth in the color of your mana veins, and talent is measured by how well you exploit the dying gods. Surrounded by prodigies like the half-elf genius Lisa Tempest, Kael is an outsider with a secret that breaks all their rules. While they learn to tighten the dragons’ chains, he learns how to break them.
The system does not give up its lies lightly. Hunted by rivals, schemes, and the Empire itself, Kael must survive as ancient dragons stir and the world’s magic fractures. He must choose: destroy the civilization built on suffering, or rise above it.
Not as a tyrant. Not as a hero.
But as the first true Dragonlord in a thousand years an existence that will shake the heavens and make empires bow.
But there is more to him than what meets the eye.
