Cansington Station. 

A tall, muscular man in a dark coat and dark glasses walked out, his phone glued to his ear. 

“Have you got the information?” 

“Yes, General. The girl who saved you from the fire ten years ago is Thea Callahan. She survived after that, but she’s been badly disfigured due to the fire.” 

The man tightened his grip on the phone, his expression darkening. 

 

It was a hot summer day, but the temperature dipped suddenly. 

There was a gust of cold wind, and everyone who walked past the man shivered involuntarily. 

His name was James Caden. 

Ten years ago, the Cadens were burned alive, falling victim to a scheme against them. 

Without regard for her own safety, a young girl rushed into the inferno and saved him. 

All 38 of the Cadens lost their lives that night, and the first family of Cansington was no more. 

After he was rescued, he jumped into the river. It was the only way to survive. 

He ended up in the Southern Plains where he became a soldier. 

He spent ten years rising through the ranks. From a nameless grunt, he was now the general. 

He had challenged an elite army of 30,000 single-handedly. He had gone on a solo mission, infiltrating the enemy camp and capturing their general alive. 

He was the legendary Dragon General of the Southern Plains. 

He was the Black Dragon, a name that struck fear in his enemies. 

He was the youngest general Sol had ever seen.
