Elian, the elf prince, was branded a waste for his blocked magic. When his father and half-brother poisoned his mother and framed him, he fled to the Eternal Night City, only to be drugged and fall into one night with Rayne, the wolf-king of the city's underworld. Rayne saved him, trained him, and unlocked his power. Elian rose faster than anyone thought possible. With Rayne by his side, he entered the lost sanctuary, passed the First King's trial with a merciful heart, and received the original blood. At the Tree of Life ceremony, he killed his father and brother, took the throne, and claimed Rayne as his mate, proving the waste was always the chosen one.
