A prince burdened by prophecy. A queen hiding a secret past. A dragon seeking vengeance. Beyond the castle walls in the Kingdom of Winterbourne, a powerful dragon plays a deadly game of deception, working her way into the king’s trust while plotting revenge against her own kind. In the shadows, a reckless spell awakens a dark force once buried, now given a new life. Fate does not wait for heroes to be ready. Some will rise. Some will fall. And some will discover that power always demands a price. In a world where power is never without cost, the question remains: Who will pay the price? Wysterra Origins is part of the Wysterra Series.
