Finding Anjuu and stopping the Queen is all that drives him beyond.Kalio is on the brink of war and all she can do to hold her sanity together is knowing the Drow have overcome the elves within the capital and her dragon still lives.

With the battles coming to the forefront, the power of dragons may make all the difference in finding who will conquer Narishma. If Anjuu can become a full-fledged Dragon Guardian, she may yet prove the prophecy right. If not, then Kalio will burn all her enemies to the ground.When enemies become friends and friends turn to enemies, there will be few anyone can trust.
