For months, Hakon has searched for answers to the mystery of what happened during the Battle of Husavik. He's convinced the answers lie far beyond the explored boundaries of the six states, a rugged land guarded jealously both by dragons and the wild. His quest for answers might be the risk that finally ends his troubled life.
Like Hakon, Zachary is haunted by his memories of Husavik. He watches, helpless, as the frontiers of the six states crumble around him, the governors either unable or unwilling to take action. When he learns that his exile has been revoked, he must find a way to protect the people he has come to love.
Neither is prepared to face the return of an ancient enemy, a force stronger than the world has seen in ages.
As fate turns against humanity, they must race to uncover the secrets of the past if they hope to save the future.
