All her life, Cora has only dreamt her mother's memories. When she dreams of a man her mother has never met, in a cavern she has never visited, Cora's world will change forever.

Haunted by her mother's past, Cora can never live up to the expectations of the clan. Her healing skills are limited at best, and her only real skill appears to be the Oldra trait of being able to talk to all dragons.

When she becomes separated from her dragons and lost to her clan, she finds herself surrounded by the shadows of her mother's past, in a world very different to the one she knows. Everyone she meets wants something from her, and she doesn't know who to trust.

But being lost might be just what she needs to learn who she really is, and what dreams are hers alone. As the darkness closes in around her, she will need to find what is truly in her heart before she is lost to the shadows forever.
