The Watch has begun.
One year after the Dragon Riders renewed their ancient Oath, peace across the Seven Kingdoms is already beginning to fracture. Kings who once stood united now question why the Riders answer to no throne. Powerful nobles demand that Dragon Keep submit to royal authority, believing only a single crown can save the realm from the darkness gathering beyond the northern frontier.
But some promises were never meant to serve kings.
As political ambition divides the kingdoms and even the Dragon Riders begin choosing sides, Kael and the ancient dragon Vaelor uncover forgotten fortresses, shattered memorials, and long-buried secrets that reveal the terrible truth behind Aldren Wyrmwood's last war. The enemy the First Rider defeated a thousand years ago was never truly destroyed.
It was only waiting.
Now ancient watchtowers fall silent. Dragons vanish beyond the mountains. Old alliances crumble beneath suspicion and betrayal. And as the first shadows of an unimaginable army march south, the greatest threat may not come from the darkness beyond the frontier-but from the kingdoms tearing themselves apart from within.
To save the world, the Dragon Riders must first save the Oath itself.
Because if the Oath is broken...there will be no one left to keep the Watch.
