A darkness has woken in the village. Thrust onto the path of danger, Ellie faces a road where answers lie in wait. She alone must stand against the darkness that would consume all, and overcome it.

To accept her fate may lose her everything. To stand against it may cost her everything.

After Ellie receives a dire warning, she returns home with more questions than answers. She will discover her value not only to this new threat, but to a magical device created by the dragons. But their enemy has resources and power beyond reckoning, and will destroy anyone who dares to oppose them.
