Faced with a looming war, the dragon riders have no choice but to leave the safety of Galdrilene and reach out to the nations they once fled. It will take more than Galdrilene to bring down the Shadow Riders. But the Shadows are doing the same and not all nations are opposed to them.

New discoveries are made, old wounds are reopened, and betrayal hides among welcoming smiles. And as rebellion builds in one nation, it's clear that some choices, even those made with the best of intentions, can have devastating consequences.
