In the aftermath of war, dragon riders walk alone. A time has come when the Dragon Queen must destroy Cimeren in order to create something new.
The Dragon Queen of Murgare barrels toward the lone outpost of Nevergrace, riding her infamous shadow dragon and destroyer of kingdoms. She seeks retribution for her murdered king.
At Nevergrace, Cyran Orendain encounters a snarky forest dragon named Eidelmere who is bitter and resentful, having seen many centuries of battle and betrayals. Cyran forges an unlikely bond with the creature, which hurls him down a path he never could have imagined. He will wield magic, lance, and bow and become a rider and ally to Eidelmere.
Cyran’s sister, Jaslin, must learn of the old guard and the many breeds of dragons, of their magic, and discover a mysterious power she can wield and use to lead her people.
Pravon the Dragon Thief roams the lands stealing these creatures and performing deeds under blood contract to a concealed employer. In the beginning, his objectives are obscure, but the closer he comes to the war, the more someone’s darker intentions are brought to light.
For in the end, it will take strategizing with many unique dragons, magic, and forging bonds with the creatures.
One side will bleed and one will fall.
But little do they understand each other.
And either the queen or the knight will rise from the ashes of dragon fire.
