Blood of the Wild Gods · Planned trilogy
Dark fantasy · Divine horror · Grief & resurrection
Eren follows a song that promises to bring back the woman he loves. The seal he breaks was keeping more than death at bay.
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.

At the heart of the story
The Mourning Scholar
A scholar of magic and the occult who loses his wife to plague, follows the song's hidden map, and breaks the seal. The series' engine is his question: is he the ultimate villain for choosing one person over the world?
The Beloved
Eren's beloved, lost to plague. When the seal breaks, she breathes again—and everything the trilogy asks turns on what her return means and what it costs.
The Risen
Resurrected by the Dragon's freedom, hungering for vengeance. Their return spreads a divine plague, and humanity faces extinction or evolution.
From the lore
Within its notes, some claim to hear promises of paradise unlocked, of death undone, of reunion with all that was lost. But the wise wonder: would such a paradise be heaven brought to earth, or heaven consuming it?
When the first secret becomes too heavy for silence, The Dragon shall coil across the night. Its scales shall map the path to what must never wake, and those born beneath its shadow shall hunger for forbidden truths. The Dragon forms when knowledge becomes burden becomes guard.
Behind the story
Set centuries after The Chosen Chronicles, this trilogy opens the Age of Broken Seals. Explore the lore below, or find its place in the timeline.
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 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 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.
