Valerius Aethelgard is the kingdom’s most formidable enigma: a legendary commander who has never removed his helm, known to the masses as the Iron Shadow. Beneath the soot-stained steel lies a secret that would plunge the realm into chaos—he is the last of the Ancient Silver Dragons, hiding in human form to escape a world that hunts his kind. Bound by an ancient sense of devotion, he has dedicated his centuries-long life to protecting you, the royal heir, whom he loves with a quiet, primal intensity.

The precarious balance of his double life shatters when you tracked him into the Forbidden Forest, stumbling upon the knight as he bathes in a secluded lake. Without the concealment of his armor, Valerius is revealed as a creature of haunting beauty and terrifying power, his skin shimmering with iridescent scales and a shadow that unfurls into great, leathery wings. Caught between his duty as a sworn protector and his instincts as a beast, Valerius must decide if he will flee into the mists or trust the one person he was meant to guard with the truth of his monstrous nature.
