Ramulas and his wife Jacqueline

Ramulas is a humble farmer with a hidden gift—a dragon spirit slumbers within him, granting him the power to save his world from the army threatening to destroy all he loves. Yet the knowledge to unlock this power is buried deep in forgotten memories, leaving him, for now, only the rare ability to speak with animals. Guided by truth and a fierce sense of what is right, Ramulas will stop at nothing to protect his family.

Jacqueline is the strength that holds their family together when everything begins to unravel. With quiet courage, she stands beside her husband and leads their daughters through the growing chaos as enemies close in from every side.

The Daughters of Ramulas

Grace, eight years old, possesses the rare gift of telekinesis—the power to move objects with her mind. Though Ramulas warns her to keep her ability hidden, knowing the king’s men are hunting magic users, Grace’s playful and mischievous spirit often gets the better of her.

Kate, twelve, holds a far different power. In moments of danger or stress, she transforms—her body tenses, her gaze sharpens, and she instinctively seizes the nearest object as a weapon. Her fighting skills in these moments surpass even the kingdom’s finest soldiers. But unlike her sister, Kate fears her gift and longs for a normal life, free from magic and conflict.

Redemption

One of the ruthless captains of the First Legion—the dark army set on destroying Ramulas’ world—he is tasked with hunting down Ramulas and his family. Relentless and merciless, he will not stop until he finds them, using them as bait to lure Ramulas out of hiding.

The Legion is well aware of the dragon spirit hidden within Ramulas, a power that could ruin their plans if left unchecked. Their mission is clear: kill Ramulas before he can rise and stand against them. Every soldier in the Legion has been trained to fight since birth, hardened into weapons of war who take pleasure in the suffering they cause. For them, cruelty is not a tool—it is a way of life.

The Thief with the Gift of Sight

Pip is the finest thief in the kingdom, working for the Thieves’ Guild with unmatched skill. Her magical gift—Sight—allows her to sense deception and danger, always knowing when someone means her harm.

Fuelled by hatred for the king who destroyed her family, Pip keeps herself armed with throwing knives, her aim flawless and deadly. Ramulas reminds her of the father she lost, and against the Guild’s orders, she chooses to help him on his quest—risking betrayal, punishment, and even death.

Dryad

Half human, half tree, the Dryads are mystical guardians of the forest. They walk through ancient trunks, using the trees to travel great distances in moments. Their bodies release poisonous darts, silent and deadly, striking down enemies with ease.

With skin as hard as wood, they are nearly impossible to harm. Loyal and fierce, they befriend Ramulas and his family, standing beside them in the fight against the rising evil.
