Scales of War

Earth, wind, fire, water, and time-primal forces bound to the will of Mordon and his siblings, granting them power beyond imagination. Once, they walked beside mankind as protectors. Once, they believed mortals could be trusted. But betrayal cuts deeper than any blade. After being manipulated and used, Mordon turned his back on the world of man, choosing a quiet life hidden far from human greed. For five long years, silence has been his refuge, and peace has been his greatest treasure.

That peace shatters the moment a stranger falls into his world, dragging war, bloodshed, and old enemies straight to his doorstep. Human armies march once more, fueled by fear, revenge, and weapons made to kill gods. Torn from the quiet life he built, Mordon is forced to face the one truth he has avoided for decades: he cannot protect his family alone. To save the people he loves, he must reunite the siblings he once abandoned and confront the monstrous legacy he helped create-one born from his own mistakes. But even a dragon's fury has limits, and the cost of this war may demand more than his strength. It may demand everything. His wife. His son. And the fragile future of his daughter.

For Olivia, that future is already cracking. What begins as a tremor of fear spirals into something far darker-an awakening of power that should never have been hers. Shadows whisper at the edges of her mind. Hunger coils beneath her skin. And the world she thought she knew begins to unravel. Surrounded by danger, loss, and a magic that feels more like a curse than a gift, Olivia must learn to control what rises within her before it consumes her completely.

But as Mordon battles the threat closing in, and Olivia fights the one awakening inside her, a terrifying truth takes shape: some wars are not fought on battlefields, but in the hearts of those destined to change the world. And Olivia's inheritance-mysterious, forbidden, and impossibly powerful-may be the deciding factor in the coming storm. If she can master it, she might save everything. If she loses control... she could end it.
