Kale Voss should have been honored at the Beast Awakening Ceremony—he summons a Flame Dragon and a shadow cat named nicks. Instead, Lyra betrays him, steals the dragon, and leaves him banished from the academy. With nowhere left to turn, Kale unlocks the Divine Beast Taming System, and nicks begins an astonishing evolution into a creature that can swallow the world. As ridicule from his former lover grows and the academy and alliance close in, Kale hides his rise in power and moves toward godhood.
