2026-08-06 07:00:22The terrifying reality of what the crown built from his blood was far worse than any magic weapon Logan had ever imagined.
Logan carried his father up the stone steps, his arms trembling under the weight, even though Brandon was light as a bundle of dry sticks. Vivienne led the way, her iron dagger raised, her dark eyes scanning every shadow in the curving staircase. The null stone field was still thick, but the roaring sound of the whirlpool outside was growing louder again as they climb

chapter 106
The sky above the southern highway turned bright orange as thirty shadow-less desert skyships dropped out of the clouds, their brass hulls glowing like fresh embers.Kassia pulled her longbow tight, her eyes wide as she stared up at the massive flying vessels hovering silently over the head of the New Vanguard army. Those are not imperial war galleys, she yelled, stepping in front of Logan with her arrow pointed straight at the lead vessel's bronze bowsprit.Hold your bow, Kassia, Logan said, gently lowering her wooden arrow with a single finger. Look at the banners hanging from their wooden rudders.Long golden silks embroidered with blazing suns flapped in the warm sea wind. Down from the main deck of the largest skyship drifted a thin, silver rope ladder. A young man wearing light bronze scale armor, dark leather trousers, and a crimson cape swung down the ropes, landing on the dusty road with absolute grace.I thought I would find you marching toward the capital
chapter 105
Two hundred rusted iron swords hit the wet cobblestones at the exact same second, ringing out like a broken church bell across the quiet dockyard.Logan stood on the high wooden platform above Vance harbor, the cool ocean wind pulling at his plain linen shirt as hundreds of dirty, blood-stained rebel fighters filled the stone plaza below.Kassia stepped up to the edge of the railing, her heavy longbow slung across her back, her sharp dark eyes scanning the massive crowd of northern fighters, freed miners, and former imperial deserters. Every single man and woman down there had fought in the muddy trenches for six long years, losing brothers, sisters, and homes to the High Emperor’s ruthless tax collectors.Is this everyone left from the northern brigades? Logan asked softly, turning his head slightly to look at Kassia.This is the core of our old force, Kassia answered, her voice rough with emotion as she gestured toward the sea of ragged banners below. Four hundred

The grand imperial banner fell into the mud before the horse even came to a full stop.Princess Aurelia pulled hard on her silk reins, her heavy gold armor clinking as her black warhorse reared back on its hind legs in pure terror. Behind her, three thousand heavily armed imperial knights, fifty solar mages, and a line of iron siege wagons ground to a complete halt along the high ridge path.By the sun, what happened to the peak? Commander Drake gasped, reining his armored charger in beside her, his hand flying to his sword hilt as his eyes widened in total disbelief.Where there was once a thousand-foot mountain of solid granite holding the ancient northern vault, only a massive, smoking crater of white glass remained. The high stone peaks were gone, leveled flat into the earth as if a giant fist had smashed the mountain from the sky. Thick golden smoke rolled slowly across the ruined valley, carrying an intense, suffocating heat that made the horses sweat and panic in

Her boots slid across the smooth oak deck as she threw her arms around his waist before the ship could even hit its stride.Logan caught her cleanly, his large hands wrapping firmly around her back as he pulled her tight against his chest. The white thermal steam from the rear vents blew past them, carrying the salty sea wind across the quiet wooden deck.I thought I lost you in that golden light, Vivienne sobbed, her dark eyes shining with tears as she pressed her forehead against his canvas shirt. I thought the ancient dragon mind would eat every single memory of us.Look at me, Vivienne, Logan said, his deep voice soft and steady as he used his thumb to wipe a smudge of dark ash off her cheek. Look right into my eyes.Vivienne lifted her head, her breath catching in her chest as she searched his face. His eyes were clear, dark, and full of the exact same warmth she had loved since the day they met in the northern archives.You know who I am? she asked, her voi
chapter 102
The heavy purple sky inside the cavern collapsed into a million sharp glass splinters under the weight of his gaze.High Mage Vane stumbled backward across the cracked marble floor, his long silver beard trembling as he held both hands high, pouring every drop of his remaining magic power into the massive gravity field above their heads. The dark purple light hummed like a thousand angry hornets, pressing down on the stone pillars until deep cracks split the solid granite.You cannot defeat the supreme magic of the imperial court, Vane screamed, his voice cracking with wild, desperate panic as sixteen elite shadow mages formed a tight circle around him. Increase the pressure now. Crush his bones before he steps out of that circle.The sixteen shadow mages slammed their heavy iron staffs into the ground at the exact same second. A dense wall of dark purple gravity energy surged downward, aiming straight for Logan’s head like a falling iron anvil.Logan did not even ra

The air around his body stopped burning, but the ground beneath his feet began to float.Vivienne gasped, taking a fast step back as a dozen jagged granite boulders, each weighing several tons, rose silently into the air around Logan without a single touch of his hands. A soft, golden ring of light hovered around his shoulders, pulsing in perfect rhythm with his calm breathing.Logan, what are you doing with those rocks? Kassia asked, her eyes wide as she gripped her bow, watching a five-ton stone slab spin slowly above her head like a light wooden leaf.I am not touching them with magic, Logan said, his voice quiet, clear, and perfectly human, yet echoing with a deep, vibrating resonance that made the air hum. I can feel every grain of dust in this valley. I can feel the weight of the air, the stone, and the wind.His skin looked smooth and normal, completely free of the dark scales that used to cover his face during battle. Yet, as he raised his right hand casually
