Lord of Beasts: The Stable Boy They Called Cursed

Rowen, a lowly stable hand expelled from the academy, has always believed his blood sends spirit beasts into a frenzy. After rescuing a black-winged foal, he discovers the truth is far different. As the Staff of All Beasts chooses him, all nine Trial Pillars light, and his lost bloodline is exposed; he gradually uncovers the Sacred Court's conspiracy to drain the power of all beasts through Dark Pacts. In the end, he awakens the Heart of All Beasts and earns the recognition of the four Primordial Guardians.
