Golden Lion King Galon is forced to kill his foster father, High Priest Orion (possessed by an ancient god), to protect his kingdom—and is branded a traitor. At the public trial in the Pantheon of Beasts, sister Sofia presides as brother Leo, foster mother Margaret, ex-girlfriend Claire, and others accuse him. When his Golden Blood ignites with ancestral fire, memory visions reveal the truth: Galon never betrayed anyone—he silently protected them all at his own cost.
