Fate's Hands

They burned his house, broke his bloodline, and buried the truth in ice for a hundred years. Evander Vornic was never supposed to inherit anything — not the title, not the power, not the war. But when the Empire's soldiers slaughter his family on the night of his dragon binding ceremony, a dying hand forces an ancient ice dragon's bond onto him. Now it's killing him slowly, freezing him from the inside, and the only cure lies buried in the heart of the empire that wants him dead. To survive, Evander must become someone else entirely, earn the trust of the very people who destroyed everything he loved, and steal back the knowledge to save his own life. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes his family wasn't the first. And somewhere beyond the edge of the living world, a trapped dragon god has been waiting a hundred years for someone strong enough to free it...or wield it. Revenge will cost him everything and power will cost him more. And when an empire's oldest sin comes due, Evander will have to choose: become the weapon they always feared, or break the cycle that made monsters of them all. The ice remembers. So does the dragon. And neither one forgives easily.

About as confused as he can get, Kyle’s new life took a rather awkward and bizarre turn.
