Etchinstone is a land shaped by scars: blackened peaks where dragons once warred, moss-choked citadels, and villages that trade in rumor as much as grain.

The story follows three protagonists from different walks of life—each carrying secrets tied to the dragons’ past. Their paths converge as they decipher cryptic runes, survive assassination attempts, and unveil a conspiracy that links the rulers of Etchinstone to dragon-blooded lineages.
