Beast Tamer's Ascent: Love and Conquest at the Imperial Peak

Dawn breaks over the Phantom Beast Forest, and a girl clutches an unawakened contract seal—her only key to the summit of the beast-taming world. But the path to power is never simple. Unknown terrors lurk in shadowed groves, wild beasts howl in the night, and at the academy, a raging storm phantom beast awaits her indomitable will. As darkness weaves a web of love and war around her fate, she must choose between duty and desire. Every bond she forges becomes both a trap and a gift, every step forward a blaze that could consume her soul—or crown her empress of all realms.
