Beast and Me

In a world where destiny is forged by the bond between human and beast, Taren faces the ultimate rejection. The Heartstone, ancient arbiter of power, barely flickers for him, and one by one, the magnificent creatures of his village turn away. Humiliated and cast aside, he flees into the forbidden Burned Hollow, a place of ash and forgotten things. But in the desolate silence, a tiny, smoke-breathing bird, as broken and unwanted as Taren himself, sparks a connection no one could have foreseen. This isn't the glorious bond of legend, but a fierce, defiant whisper of shared survival. Can a boy deemed too weak and a creature too small truly challenge a world that values only strength?
