Charles, guardian of the Vein, is sent by his master Hannah to River Village. Gifted in divination, he saves widow Susan, finds hidden gold, and rises in Vintage Lane. He opens Destinara in Right Prefecture and meets Teresa, who resembles Hannah. He breaks her sleepwalking curse and earns her trust. As his fame grows, he crushes gangs, restores the Stone Dragon ley line, and exposes a conspiracy. On Mid-Autumn night, he defeats Abyssorochi and saves Dragonia—while Hannah remains captive.
