Stolen from their homes as kids, a band of fae boys are imprisoned in the brutal mines of the treacherous Mantlerealm. Here, magic is useless, wings scald in the heat, and hope is a forgotten myth. They have one last day before they become dragonfood.

Led by Jayce, and supported by Tashuhunka, the sole survivor of his tribe, the boys have grown into men, training in secret and planning every move to escape. Jayce keeps his brothers alive with clever gadgets and a promise he refuses to break: they will get out.

A long-faded prophecy whispers that a hidden girl will set them free. But she doesn’t even know they exist.

When they learn they are out of time, the youngest boy makes a dangerous choice—smuggling a desperate message across realms. Whether the prophecy is real or not, help may not come.

This is no tale of a magical savior. This is the story of men who refuse to wait for destiny and become their own heroes.

"One of those stories that grabs you right away and doesn’t let go… vivid, exciting, and full of heart."
