Covenant of Solitude

A handful of people possess the power to commune with monsters, and control them at will. Those who are gifted with this ability have been both feared and used as tools. Wherever they go, they are met with hostility and discrimination. In Listy, a village in the Kingdom's farthest corner, a youth named Fort has the genies' blood. Living in an orphanage with his friends Elicia and Legna, Fort is persecuted by the other villagers. One day, however, the Empire invades and the streets run with the blood of innocents. Running to the aid of his friends, Fort is forced to confront the truth of what he is. A truth that will leave him cursing his own blood... Trust and betrayal, friendship, love and hate all tangled together in an unforgettable tale of lives changed forever by the blood of the genies.
