Thalos, a young rider of the Scaled Vanguard, carries a curse that twists his spirit into living shadows of depression, anxiety, rage, guilt, and fear. With only his dragon companion Veyrissa beside him, the battle for his soul seems unwinnable. But when his childhood friend Selara-bonded to her own dragon Sylthara-joins his fight, Thalos discovers he is not as alone as he thought. Hope arrives in the form of Naexi, an elf from the distant continent of Eryndor, who warns that her homeland is falling to a force too great for her people to resist. To break his curse and answer Naexi's call, Thalos must forge unbreakable bonds with those he loves and face the darkest parts of himself-or risk losing not only his sanity, but two worlds to the shadows. This novel stands alone but is intended as the beginning of a larger saga exploring the destiny of the Scaled Vanguard and the threats rising across Eryndor.
