After the defeat of the Lowland Army at Torsere and with King Seran on the
run, King Ryneq and his sister, Cerylea, continue their journey to the
Elven City of Alel to proceed with the union of the two realms. Fully
recovered from his injuries and newly announced as King Ryneq’s Consort, Nykin returns to his duty as a Dragon Rider in the King’s army. He and
Ryneq have little opportunity to celebrate their union, but make the
most of their time together before leaving for Alel. Since the ambush at Neest River destroyed the main bridge, traveling by ship is the only
option. An unusual storm threatens their crossing, making Ryneq wonder
if some new magic is rising against them.
As the wedding between
Cerylea and the Elven prince Morkryn approaches, the dragons sense a
malevolent presence. To protect the young couple’s fragile bond, Nykin
and his dragon, Fimor, take to the skies, setting up a patrol along the
border of the magical city. But as the evil grows more potent, the
enchanted boundary grows weaker. Ryneq and Nykin must combine their
strength to protect their people from Seran’s extreme plot for revenge.
