A sacrificed brother returns as a mage emperor to crush his betrayers.
Ethan fed himself to a black dragon so Eric and Anna could live, yet three years later the couple shares a bed and laughs at his memory as a simple herb gatherer. Unaware that the man they mock now commands a sprawling Mage Empire as its Supreme Mage, Eric hosts a victory banquet to celebrate his own triumph. From the shadows of restored authority, Ethan prepares to shatter the illusion of their success.
