The ceremony reaches its zenith. As the final guardians of legend step forward, the companions are bestowed with their ultimate gifts: a blade of pure truth for the loyal scholar, Cyran, and Kael'Bier's own ancestral scepter, Aetherion, for the heir. But this moment of triumph is instantly shattered. The great drake Draighlyr reveals a dark and devastating prophecy, forcing Da'gan and Cyran to witness a vision of the true enemy they must face—a horror far greater than they could have ever imagined. The weight of their destiny is about to come crashing down.

The journey has led to the heart of a mountain, to a chamber sealed by time and legend. Here, Evandar must confront the living legacy of his bloodline—a colossal, ancient drake. In a crucible of fire and memory, the man known as Evandar will be unmade, and the true Heir of Kael'Bier will be forged anew.

The quest has begun. Evandar, now wrestling with the burden of his childhood nickname - Da'gan, travels with his new companions. But the fragile peace of their journey is shattered when old enemies return for blood. In a moonlit glade, steel will clash and ancient powers will awaken, culminating in a revelation that will change the very nature of their world.

The summons has been delivered, and now Evandar is trapped. Scholar, soldier, and secrets collide as a relic from a forgotten past is revealed, forcing Evandar to confront the name—and the curse—he has spent a lifetime trying to outrun. The world is about to break wide open for the weary warrior.
