A new age dawns, and with it, prophecy has come for the royal nothings. Though, for Marsea, Remy, and Desmond Lanier, their fated paths are anything but apparent. Even with the aid of a primordial being called the gift.
Tomes and tales taught them about the gift and how to tap into its wealth of forms, but, trust it true, there’s a world’s difference between merely finding the gift and learning how to tame and harness it. Will their union with a creature as chaotic as the gift prove their salvation or their undoing?
Hope dwindles as the horrors of the nether devour all sentient life in sight, but may yet lie within a set of grimoires forged during the Age of Dragons. However, with one of the last surviving members of House Lanier possessed by an evil entity bent on conquest and annihilation, will the royal nothings even survive each other long enough to collect the ancient texts and save what remains of their dying civilization?
