Prepare yourself for an epic fantasy saga unlike any you have ever read.

For generations, the dragon legacy has been a symbol of ultimate power. For Prince Kaelen, it's a terminal diagnosis. As the last of his line, he lives in daily terror of the "fire-sickness" in his blood—the same hereditary curse that consumed his father in a storm of madness and ash. He is a prince with a power he dares not touch.

But when a charismatic and ruthless zealot seizes his kingdom, Kaelen confronts a new kind of horror. This new ruler doesn't see a sickness; he sees the ultimate cure. He unleashes a terrifying regime of magical purity, convinced that the only way to heal the world is to systematically burn away its weakness.

Forced to flee for his life, Kaelen must unlearn everything about power and seek a forgotten path deep within the mysterious Whispering Wilds. Guided by a reclusive healer and a wary ranger, he discovers that the only way to fight a plague of fire is not with a greater inferno, but with a medicine the world has forgotten.

He must return to face the man who wears his power like a crown. To save his kingdom, he must become a healer in a world that only respects warriors. But in a battle of opposing cures, can you save the patient without becoming the disease yourself?

From the incredible imagination of 13-year-old author Kyle Kabanga comes an unforgettable adventure of magic, medicine, and the difficult path to true strength.
