The Last Sealbreaker

The chains were supposed to protect the kingdom. Then they started crawling out of the well. Bram never wanted to be a hero. He was a charcoal burner's son from a forgotten village, busy keeping his sharp-tongued little sister alive in a kingdom that took everything and answered nothing. But when chain-twisted monsters tear through Grayford during the royal Chain Festival, Bram and Nell are driven into the one place everyone fears most: the sealed hill.
There, beneath the mountain, Bram finds the truth the kingdom buried. The legendary beasts were never the monsters. The king's holy chains did not save the world. They imprisoned the guardians who once protected it. And now those chains are rotting, spreading their corruption through beasts, villages, soldiers, and blood. When Nell is infected by Chain Fever, Bram makes the only choice left to him.
He breaks the first seal. That act awakens Varruk, the Blackfire Dragon, and marks Bram as a Sealbreaker-a criminal, a threat, and the only person who can hear the voices of the forgotten guardians. Hunted by royal Wardens and feared by the people he tries to save, Bram must cross a kingdom built on lies, freeing ancient beasts one by one before the corruption devours everything he loves. But every broken seal changes the world.
Every guardian remembers betrayal. And the more Bram learns, the closer he comes to the question the crown will kill to keep buried:If the chains were never meant to protect mankind, what were they really holding back?A fast-paced epic fantasy adventure with sealed legendary beasts, monstrous corruption, royal deception, found courage, and a reluctant hero who breaks what everyone else worships.
