A World Divided by Ancient Fears
In a realm where dragons are either worshipped as gods or feared as demons, four unlikely heroes find themselves at the center of a thousand-year-old conflict. The East reveres water dragons as divine beings, while the West views fire-breathing wyrms as unholy monsters. This fundamental divide has kept civilizations separated by oceans of mistrust and mountains of misunderstanding. Queen Sabran IX of Inys faces mounting pressure to marry and produce an heir-her bloodline supposedly keeps the monstrous Nameless One imprisoned. Meanwhile, Ead Duryan serves as her lady-in-waiting while secretly belonging to the Priory of the Orange Tree, using forbidden magic to protect Sabran from assassination attempts. Across the world in Seiiki, young Tane trains relentlessly to become a dragonrider, risking everything when she helps smuggle a foreigner ashore. And exiled alchemist Niclays Roos, bitter after failing to create an elixir of immortality, finds himself entangled with pirates seeking eternal life. What none of them realize is that the walls between their worlds are about to crumble. Ancient prophecies stir, assassins move in shadows, and the Nameless One-a dragon of terrifying power-threatens to break free from his thousand-year imprisonment. When that happens, will these divided kingdoms remember how to stand together?
