When an orphaned outcast dies on Earth and wakes up in a frozen world, he learns that death isn’t the end—it’s a reset. Reborn as Theo Domino, the forgotten middle child of a royal lineage, Theo is the elder brother of Bloom and heir to a fractured legacy tied to the Dragon’s Pearl.
Born after Daphne and just old enough to be left behind, Theo carries dragon power that never fully ignited. Without his sibling’s Dragon Flame to stabilize him, his fire freezes instead of burns, his magic twists, and something ancient begins to stir within the cold. Powerful yet incomplete, Theo exists in the shadow of sisterly destinies he was never meant to share.
Caught between gods, myths, corrupted magic, and a world that never planned for him to exist, Theo is hunted by those seeking glory and haunted by darkness born from the same magic that created him. To survive, he must reclaim his lost warmth—and prove that being the older brother doesn’t mean being expendable before the cold consumes him completely.
“Being the older brother does not, in fact, make you safe from cosmic nonsense.”
