In every rebellion, there are those who fight for freedom — and those who fight to survive.
In Renegade, the first book of The Legends of Iron Spine, two unlikely souls are drawn together by war, loss, and the fragile hope that the world can still be changed.
⚔️ Chaelle Skysong — The Warrior Who Burns Too Bright ⚔️
Chaelle is a fighter forged by tragedy. Raised in a land where strength is survival, she learned early that mercy rarely wins wars. Yet beneath her hardened exterior lies a heart that refuses to give in to cruelty.
Brave but impulsive, Chaelle’s journey is one of control — over her rage, her grief, and the destiny thrust upon her. She’s the kind of character who charges first and questions later, but every reckless act comes from an unshakable belief in protecting the powerless.
Her story is not one of perfection or purity, but persistence. Chaelle Skysong stands for every person who has fallen, bled, and still dared to rise again. She will be hardened by loss, by battle, before discovering true strength.
🌒 Willærd Al’Gaze — The Outcast Who Refused to Break 🌒
If Chaelle is the storm, Will is the quiet aftermath — still, calculating, and burdened by the ghosts of his past. Born an outcast and shaped by rejection, he seeks purpose in a world that has never offered him belonging.
He is moral but lost, a young man haunted by the line between right and wrong — and how easily it blurs in the name of survival. Will doesn’t crave power or heroism; he craves peace, acceptance, to feel as if he has found home.
But fate has other plans.
To escape suffering he must find greater purpose. But, to find purpose, he must first find himself amongst rubble and sand.
🌹 Two Paths, One Fate 🌹
Chaelle and Will are not star-crossed lovers or destined heroes — they are human, flawed, and deeply real. Their stories weave through betrayal, war, and reluctant hope, each step shaping them into something greater than they ever imagined.
Together, they embody the soul of Renegade: that rebellion isn’t just against kings and empires — it’s against the darkness within ourselves.
