Born beneath the shadow of a dragon’s wing and the stain of forbidden blood, Yuri den Nightwalker is a child destined for annihilation—or ascendance. Marked as an outcast in the ruthless halls of House Nightwalker, Yuri survives blades in the dark and venomous whispers, wielding only his wits and the cursed demon sword Tyrfing. Haunted by dreams of past and future lives and driven by the specter of a world teetering on the brink of ruin, Yuri must unravel the secrets of his lineage before an ancient apocalypse awakens.

In a world where dragons walk as gods, political alliances are forged in blood, and betrayal lurks in every shadow, Yuri finds unlikely allies: Lilim, the fallen Saintess with secrets of her own; Isabelle, a mage whose loyalty is as fierce as her power; and Kai, a mysterious swordsman bound by fate to Yuri’s journey. Together, they rip through tangled webs of dark magic, conspiracies, and imperial intrigue, their every step drawing them closer to the truth—and to a war that could end all things.

As rivals close in and the drums of succession thunder, Yuri must claim his place in a family that would see him dead, master the monstrous power within, and unite ancient enemies before darkness devours the realm. Will Yuri’s forbidden heritage be the world’s unmaking—or its last, desperate hope?

Step into a saga of blood, fire, and destiny, where the line between savior and destroyer is as thin as the edge of a sword.
