Tagline: In a world where dragons are myths, one girl finds the last ember of truth.
Chapter One: The Fire Beneath the Mountain
The village of Kaerwyn slept under a blanket of mist and superstition. They called it the “Cursed Cradle,” resting dangerously close to the hollow heart of Mount Zehrak—a dormant volcano long believed to be the graveyard of dragons.
Elira, a stubborn seventeen-year-old orphan with ink-stained fingers and a head full of forbidden legends, never believed the stories were just stories. Her grandmother had once whispered truths in trembling tones—about dragons with voices like thunder, wings that blackened the sun, and flames that could melt time itself.
Everyone laughed. But Elira remembered.
And she listened.

Chapter Two: The Scar in the Sky
One night, the sky tore open. A streak of blue fire split the heavens. The ground rumbled with the growl of something ancient, something alive. Villagers screamed of omens. Priests declared the end times.
Elira grabbed her journal and followed the fire.
Into the woods. Into the storm. Into destiny.
There, buried in ash and light, she found it: a dragon.
But not like the ones in the dusty scrolls. This one was smaller, wounded, its scales cracked like old pottery, glowing with dying embers. It had eyes that knew pain. Eyes that pleaded.
It spoke. Not with words, but with memories—visions of a time when dragons ruled skies, made pacts with humans, and fell by betrayal.
Its name was Kaelthir—The Last Flame.

Chapter Three: The Pact Rekindled
Elira nursed him, hiding him in the abandoned crystal mines beneath the village. In exchange, Kaelthir shared his power. Her fingers sparked with fire. Her mind opened to echoes of ancient knowledge—forgotten languages, battle songs, and the dragon tongue.
But power calls power.
The Wardens of the Ember Crown—a ruthless order sworn to eliminate dragons—sensed Kaelthir’s presence. Led by General Ravien, a scarred man who once rode dragons before turning against them, they descended upon Kaerwyn.
Elira had to choose: remain hidden or rise with the fire.
She chose the flame.

Chapter Four: Wings of War
With Kaelthir growing stronger, and Elira learning to wield dragonfire, they flew—two against an empire.
They uncovered old allies: druids of the Silver Grove, sky pirates who still wore dragonsteel, and relics of the First Pact between man and beast. Together, they rallied a rebellion.
War erupted in the skies.
Kaelthir roared flames shaped like phoenixes. Elira led with a blade forged from a fallen dragon’s fang. The people rose, tired of fear, hungry for truth.
But Ravien had a secret: he possessed the Soulfang—a weapon that devours dragon hearts.

Chapter Five: The Last Ember
The final battle cracked the sky over Mount Zehrak. Kaelthir and Ravien clashed, fire against black steel. Elira, heartbroken, wounded, faced Ravien atop the mountain’s peak.
She saw in his eyes not hatred, but sorrow. He had once loved dragons. He had once lost everything to them.
“I don’t fear dragons,” he whispered. “I fear what we become with them.”
“But I fear what we become without them,” she replied—and unleashed the true fire within.
Kaelthir merged with her spirit, the dragon soul fusing with the human heart.
Elira became Drakyn—the flameborne.
She shattered the Soulfang, saved Kaelthir, and broke the Ember Crown.

Epilogue: A Sky Reborn
Dragons returned—not as monsters, but as guardians. Elira led the new Flame Accord, uniting humans and dragons.
Children learned the dragon tongue. Old legends became new truths. Mountains sang again.
And when the wind whispered through the trees, it carried her name—Elira the Ember, the girl who found the last dragon and lit the world anew.
