No Warden fights alone. No Warden survives alone. At Edevane Academy, Warden cadets don’t just train—they’re bound. Soulbonded for life. Linked in death. One to strike. One to shield. If one falls, both do. Grier and Griffin Maddox were born to lead—twins from a founding bloodline with legacy etched into their names. But the soulbond doesn’t care about bloodlines. Grier is tethered to a lethal Vitiari whose blood forges living iron—tendrils that protect like instinct and kill without hesitation. Griffin is bonded to a silent girl who draws the future… and every sketch ends in ruin. And beneath the trials, the ranks, the rigid traditions—something is shifting. Rebellion is rising—from the shadows, from the blood, from within. And it’s ready to burn everything down.
