"Little ember." Nobody alive has called Sebastian that since his mother vanished six years ago. So why is the voice calling him from beyond the barrier? In Wyrmwood, mana decides who eats, who is protected, and who is sent to die. Sebastian has none. He is a sixteen year old digger, sent past the light line where people disappear, while his gifted little sister is named for the sacred Ascension. But the beasts beyond the barrier have always watched him. Only him. When he finally answers the voice and crosses the barrier, an ancient curse brands him, his body Evolves into something beyond human, and a mysterious System wakes inside him. Quests. Levels. Beasts he can capture or absorb. And a warning: "The Curse of the Ancient Ones has many faces. You will learn them." Now the shadows hunt him every single night, and every night the monsters get bigger. A fanatical order calls him a demon. A river people plan to sell him to the golden City of Embers for ten years of safety. And far above the clouds, a man with burning gold eyes has felt him wake. He has one thing they don't know about. Something his mother locked away inside him. Something big enough to need a lock. And it is starting to break free. "When the last star falls where the shadows meet, two of one fire shall wake. One shall rise, and one shall burn." Somewhere beyond the desert, the last dragon is waiting. Can a boy with no power survive long enough to find it, and burn down the lie the whole world believes? Inside this story: A powerless underdog who grows stronger with every level, every beast, and every hard choice. A System of quests, Evolutions, and rewards that always come at a price.

A prophecy everyone reads differently, and a betrayal no one will see coming. Dragons. Real ones. Dystopian fantasy | System progression | Beast taming | Dragons | Found family.
