Can Calla outrun the Ebon Queen's forces and ensure the dragon flights are reborn?
The first-born dragons died over a hundred years ago, and their rebirth is the last hope in the realm's battle against the Ebon Queen. Only Calla's dragon soul can spark their life.
As fugitives, Calla and her men struggle to find people who can aid them on their journey to the dragon city. A visit to an elven court to request aid from Galen's friend creates unexpected consequences and adds urgency to their travels. Running out of options, the party is forced to enter Devin's unsavory world of assassins and thieves to seek help from an unusual source.
The new party member's fierce protectiveness of Calla causes problems as the men struggle to trust the man and his motives—especially Rohan. Can the group put aside their differences and unite to protect Calla?
The Ebon Queen's darkness continues to spread throughout the lands as she searches for her Daughter of Shadow. The group carries a new weapon in the battle against her creeping death and decay, but will unleashing the dragons help defeat the Queen? Or will the first-born herald a new problem for the human realm?
