In a world where magic is controlled by king and church, where the angelic creatures, dragons, have been forbidden to show their true form. A world where humans and dragons had once bred, producing a new race--dragans. A race that holds all the power of the dragons themselves, except the ability to traverse between the planes of heaven and the three hells.
Ethereal, land of the dragan throne itself, where the descendants of Herimus, one of the first dragons and favored by Dos, have ruled for over 1,800 years. King Bramus Draxon, pure dragan, the present king over all Ethereal and the common lands, still grieving the murder of his wife and unborn son of some seventeen years ago, finds himself without an heir and a kingdom falling into chaos as the other dragan houses plot for the throne. With his loss of faith in Dos, the proclaimed creator, his own cleverness and wit are all that he has to rely on.
