The last DragonHeart

Synopsis: James Ironheart has been called worthless his entire life. Grade Zero. Talentless. An orphan with no future. In the city of Ashford, where cultivation determines your worth, James is the lowest of the low—scorned by nobles, mocked by his peers, and crushed beneath the heel of the Blackwood family, who rule the realm with iron fists. But when the arrogant heir Dorian Blackwood humiliates him at the Grand Awakening Ceremony, something ancient awakens within James. The Dragonheart Bloodline—a power thought extinct for a thousand years. A power that marks him as the last of his kind. Now, with assassins hunting him and every powerful family wanting to control or destroy him, James must flee Ashford. He escapes into the haunted Gloomveil Forest and crosses the Veil into the Aetherwilds—a lawless realm where only the strong survive. There, a mysterious mentor named Sage reveals the truth: his parents didn't abandon him. They sacrificed themselves to hide his power from the higher realms. They died to protect the last Dragonheart. James has three days to master a power that could consume him—or face death in the Crucible, a deadly arena where cultivators fight for glory and survival. But the higher realms are watching. The Blackwoods are hunting. And everyone wants to claim—or destroy—the last Dragonheart. James swore he'd make them all kneel. Now he has to survive long enough to do it.
