Tower of DOGS

After the Great Winter plagued the World of El'Ur for centuries, elemental Aegi faded from existence, taking their Natures with them. As the cold darkness recedes into the north, summer returns, and so do the Natures.

Like the rest of the world, the people of the Northern Region, Bhaskar, are unprepared for the resurgence of the Aegi powers. Those who succumb to their innate abilities and lose control are labeled as Berzerkers and cast out from society. But the Berzerkers fight back, their strength growing as the edge of winter moves further north, forcing many people to flee to the northern sanctuary of Idun.

Rome and his younger sister Sparrow grew up in Suhn, one of the last standing cities outside of Idun. With the Berzerker threat drawing closer, Rome and Sparrow attempt to leave their home and escape to the sanctuary, but a sudden attack separates the siblings, leaving Rome behind in Suhn. Now, alone in the sanctuary, Sparrow is adopted into a prominent household, and introduced to the elite culture within Idun. There is a strong dislike for Nature and the Old World, but unbeknownst to them, there is a greater power waiting to awaken within the walls of the domed city.

Meanwhile, Rome struggles with his responsibilities in Suhn as a member of the Fourth Brotherhood — a group that adopted the southern district and all the orphan boys in it. He is torn between chasing after his sister, and building his life with his brothers. His choice becomes even more important when another group threatens to change the way of life in Suhn, and Rome finds himself at the center of it. If he can't learn to control the power growing within him, he could lose everything...

Nature has a way of coming back.
