His family calls him worthless.
They have no idea what they’ve cast aside.
Zane Rollin, the eldest son of House Rollin, was born frail—unable to train as a warrior or even sense magic. To his father, he is a disgrace to the family name. To the nobles of the empire, he is a joke.
At thirteen, Zane is stripped of his place as heir, driven from the imperial capital, and sent to the distant south. Everyone expects him to disappear into obscurity.
They are wrong.
There, an accident draws Zane into a deadly conflict involving mages, dragons, and powers older than the empire itself.
Then he discovers an island that should not exist—and an ancient being that has waited nearly a thousand years for another visitor.
Long ago, the founding emperor of the Roland Empire came to this island and accepted a bargain. He left with enough power to conquer an entire continent.
Now that same bargain is offered to Zane.
