Welcome to Teir-a shining beacon of hope amidst the ravages of war...or the trappings of a gilded cage?
Following an unforeseen treason and an unexpected attack on the New Orleans Council House, Wilder and his friends escape to the safety of Teir. But secrets, greater still than the ones kept by the people they trusted, arise just in time for Summer Solstice.
As the Red War builds between worlds, another-more ancient and more deadly-brews in the heavens. And its whispers are creeping into the heart of the Eadar.
The dragons, once believed by most to have never truly existed, begin to return-and they're not playing by the rules. The mysterious Jeselle, born of both dark and dragon magic, takes her place as the first Rider. And the hunt for the stones, all that stands in the way of Markus claiming control of everything he touches, finally begins.
But can Wilder and his friends stay alive long enough to find them? Can they truly trust the Magistrie to protect the Eadar, and the humans, from the Dahrk and the havoc it's wrought? And most of all, can Wilder trust himself?
