The Story
Four lives. One fractured empire. And dragons that change everything.
The son of a murdered emperor caught between destinies. A dragon rider wrestling with untold power. An old warrior forced back into the fray. And a master of dragons with the fate of his order resting on a single choice.
When an unknown dragon and its rider burn Aneving Keep, it throws the world off-balance, teetering on the edge of chaos. An army is on the march, bringing fire and death to the people of the Empire.
At the mountain monastery of Mun-Alin, the dragon riders have been forced into sequester. No one knows why. But this new threat to the Empire cannot be ignored.
The throne of Ir-Anan sits empty. The dragon riders have vanished. The Empire burns.
