Leopold Chen

A searing, character-centered tapestry unfolds as Mara Chen navigates a city hemmed in by night-wind and ancestral debt. When the corpse of a dragon begins to bleed memory into the streets, Mara must decide whether to follow the family oath or break it to protect the living. Every ally bears a hidden motive, every landmark a reminder of a debt owed, and every step toward the Ember Gate pulls Mara deeper into a history she never asked to inherit.
