The Story
For millennia, a haunting melody has whispered through the minds of the grieving—divine comfort, or so the priests claim. But when scholar Eren Glavier loses his beloved Raewyn to plague, the song becomes his obsession. Following a map hidden in its verses, he breaks the seal imprisoning The Dragon—an entity with the power to resurrect anything that has ever died.
Raewyn breathes again, but The Dragon's freedom begins resurrecting the Old Gods who hunger for vengeance. As divine plague spreads and humanity faces extinction or evolution, Eren must choose between the woman he would damn the world to save and the world he must damn her to protect.
The Song
Since the Dragon constellation first coiled across the night, all who grieve have heard the same song in their sorrow. Every culture names it differently—comfort, solace, divine mercy—never questioning why the melody remains unchanged across all tongues and ages. The priesthood calls it a gift to the bereaved. Athea, writing in the Great Withdrawal, was less certain: she recorded that some hear in it promises of death undone and reunion with all that was lost, and asked what such a paradise would cost.
Eren Glavier is a scholar of magic, spells and the occult. Grief drives him to the song; scholarship lets him hear in it what no one has heard in millennia. Hidden within its verses is a map.
The Dragon
The most ancient constellation, older than memory, older than the gods themselves. It appeared when the First Gods discovered something that predated them—something so terrible they built it a prison among the stars. What lies imprisoned, none can say, for those who knew took that knowledge to obliteration rather than risk its escape. The Dragon rules the eleventh month, Drakonis; its element is Forbidden Knowledge; its colors are deep purple bleeding to void, stars within darkness, bone white.
Athea's warning to those born under the sign reads, in hindsight, like a warning to Eren: the First Gods were not fools. What they hid, they hid for reason. Some maps lead nowhere good. The Dragon's entry, alongside the First Gods and the Wild Gods, is in the World Guide's Divine Realms; the constellation sits with the other eleven in the Calendars of Arcadia.
The Age of Broken Seals
The Song of the Dragon opens a new age in the Blood of the Wild Gods timeline—when ancient prisons open. It is set centuries after the events of The Chosen Chronicles, in a world that has rebuilt itself in the long shadow of what came before, where new religions have risen and the Dragon constellation has kept whispering to scholars across the centuries. What follows the Dragon's freeing is the subject of the age after it, The Senach.
The trilogy distills the universe's central thesis—love as the most generative and most destructive force, divine blood as both power and poison—into a single impossible choice. It rhymes with the story written in the Lovers' stars: Elodias, who cannot stop searching for Senia across her endless lives, and whose love is the trap. The universe keeps teaching the same lesson, and no one learns it in time.
Grief, Resurrection, and the Price of Paradise
This is dark epic fantasy at the register of divine horror: a story about what grief makes people willing to do, and about whether the thing you get back is the thing you lost. Its questions are the ones the Almanac has been asking since the Great Withdrawal—whether devotion can become a curse, whether some doors were sealed for good reason, whether paradise unlocked is heaven brought to earth or heaven consuming it. The premise is public. The answers are the trilogy's to give.
