**He crossed worlds to save himself. Now he must save the girl he loves.** When a dimensional tear rips open the sky, Flame Stormborn steps through and becomes someone new — Dakota Williem Reid, a reality‑shaper with powers that defy every rule of magic. Lost in a strange world and guided only by a silver owl, Dakota is pulled into the orbit of the Circle of Nine, a group of young heroes sworn to protect their realm from threats beyond imagination. But Dakota isn’t just another arrival. He’s being hunted. And the creature searching for him knows a name he’s never heard before — a name that awakens something ancient inside him: Sky‑Born. When Faith, the girl he loves, is dragged through a monstrous tear and falls into Dakota’s arms half‑broken, everything changes. Her warning is simple and terrifying: “They’re coming.” Now the Circle must stand together as enemies from many worlds close in. The House warns that the Trial has changed. Dawn brings the Hunt. And Dakota’s powers are waking into something vast, dangerous, and impossible to control. To save Faith — and himself — Dakota must face the truth: He wasn’t just brought to this world. He was claimed by it. The end begins at dawn.
