The Covenant of Existence does not choose the ready; it chooses those capable of enduring. Every Ascendant is bound by an unbreakable oath, and every Aberrant requires a Vinculum to keep from descending into madness. Nocht awakened too soon. Eight years old is too young to grasp the meaning of destiny—too young to shoulder a burden that even adults cannot bear. His blood flows from a lineage that vanished from history. A line that never truly died. Caelum was assigned to restrain him. Not to save him, nor to love him. But to ensure that power does not exceed its limits. In a world that only recognizes the strong, and forces every bloodline to awaken for the sake of honor, an oath is no longer a sacred promise. It is a shackle.
