In a civilization ruled entirely by Beast Tamers, social status, political authority, wealth, and survival are all determined by the spirit beast one awakens during the sacred Day of Summoning. Weak beasts condemn people to lives of humiliation. Legendary beasts create kings. Divine beasts shape empires. Jesse Fletcher, a poor orphan from the slums of Ashveil City, dreams of escaping the misery that has suffocated his life for years. But on the Day of Summoning, his awakening becomes the greatest humiliation in the city's history. While noble heirs summon terrifying elemental dragons, celestial wolves, and ancient war beasts, Jesse awakens a dying creature rejected by the system itself—a malformed black beast covered in broken golden chains. The elite call it a defect. The priests declare it cursed. The academy brands it worthless. They force Jesse to either destroy it or live forever as the city's shame. But Jesse refuses. Unknown to the world, the creature is not a defect. It is a sealed primordial entity erased from history after the Ancient Beast Wars. A forbidden existence capable of devouring evolution itself.
