    Summary

    Castor has never known freedom — only chains, silence, and the cruelty of immortals who believed he was meant to be used rather than treasured.
    Born from a human mage’s violence and a Pixie’s curse, he escaped suffering in the mortal world only to spend centuries imprisoned above it, stripped of magic, choice, and even the right to feel.
    When the drifting city of Aurithrel finally casts him out, he falls into a world he has hardly walked… terrified, immortal, and utterly unprepared for anything resembling kindness.
    From his fractured soul rise two spirit companions:
    Silky a fuzzy striped serpent with bright green eyes and the gentlest heart.
    Noxlor a shadow-winged wolf whose low growl can silence nightmares.
    Together, they cross paths with a wandering doctor, a quiet half-elf child, and an unlikely circle of mortals who seem determined to care about him — no matter how hard he tries to flee.
    He doesn’t know how to accept safety.
    He doesn’t know how to trust.
    But bonds form anyway.
    And in a world filled with Ruins that remember the past, he may finally learn that some chains protect rather than bind — and some families are found, not given.
