At six years old, Kaelan Valrith witnessed his family collapse. When his noble father took a second wife from the capital, his mother—proud heir of the northern snowlands—fled in silence. Heartbroken and ill, she died within years… but not before her son vowed never to return to the man who broke her.Instead, Kaelan chose exile. For over a decade, he trained beyond the Icewall—amid barbarian clans, frozen wastes, and ancient ruins—forging his body into a weapon and his will into unbreakable ice. There, he forged a bond no human has claimed in centuries: a pact with a dragon of living frost.Now eighteen, he returns to the empire under his true name: Kaelan Valrith, Heir of the North. Enrolled in the Imperial Academy alongside princes and prodigies, he hides his power beneath calm eyes and a tattered coat bearing his mother’s wolf-and-crown emblem.But peace is an illusion. The Emperor is dead. His children vie for the throne. Monsters long thought myth are rising from forbidden lands. And whispers spread that the Valrith heir doesn’t just wield magic—he awakens it.Torn between vengeance, duty, and a princess who sees through his armor of ice, Kaelan must decide:Will he reclaim his father’s legacy?
