Aidan, heir to Stormen, hid his rare gifts for commanding creatures, brewing elixirs, and reading the winds while his adopted brother Damian claimed every triumph. Dismissed by his own sisters and murdered in the arena, he awakens again at nineteen. This time, monsters obey his call, his eldest sister falls before him, and he rescues the family that once condemned him. When they finally plead for forgiveness, the new king has only one answer: they had their chance.
