Wyndeny's government is made of the High Crystal Holders - nobles chosen by The Goddess to wield magic according to their assigned crystal - and the Caldwell Park Manor. When his young nephew falls ill with a mysterious sickness, Nikolai Esterwick, Heir to the Manor, performs a drastic action to try and save him - he steals from the Holder of Healing. When he succeeds, Sahriya Misra contacts him with a deal he cannot refuse; if he gives her a piece of the healing crystal, she'll take him to Constantine Arkola, the one who broke his heart three years ago when he left Nikolai to become a Holder. Their reunion is cut short, when the Lord of the Manor contracts the same sickness, his dying wish being that Nikolai seeks out The Dragon King of Dargmore. Now shoved into a world he feels like he has never fit into, Nikolai must grapple with lordship, loose ends and love.
