Team pet: Little Darlington is fierce and cute again
In the war-scarred realm of Vireldan, magic is bound by blood-and those who wield it are feared as much as they are needed. Darlington, a disgraced noble turned reluctant scholar, has spent years trying to forget the fire that destroyed his house and shattered the old alliances. But when he stumbles upon a sealed tome in the ruins of the Obsidian Library, fate binds him to Guo Ya, a quiet but deadly exile from the Eastern Reach with secrets deeper than the ancient spells she commands. Together, they uncover a prophecy long buried: one that speaks of twin flames-light and shadow-who must rise to mend the sundered realms or burn them to ash. As rival factions awaken and forgotten gods stir beneath the earth, Darlington and Guo Ya must navigate betrayals, forbidden magic, and their growing connection to each other before the world tips into war once more.
