RHEN

~ RAYFORT ~

Rhen leapt into the sky as the vision faded.

The phantom—not one but thousands. Black mist, a cloud of death, raging across the countryside, swallowing armies whole, leaving only destruction in its wake. The dragon had spoken to Rhen in the only way it could, flashing a piece of history into his mind, showing him one of its memories. But Rhen knew it was more than that—more than the past.

It was the future.

The shadow.

A war unlike any he had ever seen was about to begin—a war against ghosts, against armies unseen, against an enemy he didn't know how to fight.

Rhen glanced below. The fires surrounding Rayfort were gone, pulled beneath his skin. Humans were burned, dead from his flames. But some lived, some still fought for life. And he would need them, all of them, to beat what was coming.

Because it was bigger than Whylkin.

Bigger than Ourthuro.

Bigger than human battles and human wars.

Looking down across the land—the grass burnt clean away, the sea scorched black, the white stone tainted with ebony slashes—Rhen promised himself, his dragon, that such human destruction would never happen again, not at his hands, not under their flames. Their powers would be used only how they were meant to be used—to keep humans alive, all humans, any humans who might need them, no matter their birthplace or loyalty. To protect anyone who might need shielding.

From this day forward, the shadow and its soldiers were the only enemies he would fight—the only things he would kill. Rhen was no longer a prince. No longer a lord of anything. No longer a son of anyone.

Out of the ashes of his city, Rhen rose, a rider on his dragon.

A phoenix born new to the world.
