In a world ruled by ancient laws and untamed power, the Alphason was destined to inherit the title of Highclaw-strong, fearless, and bound by prophecy to a girl he never chose. She was a mystery, a waif from a distant tribe, eyes too strange, magic too wild. A gift, they said. A blessing. But to him, she was nothing.

Even if he has to break the world apart to find her.
Because some bonds are never meant to be severed.
