The shadows of war are finally upon the Aznurro kingdom. The Xaemox and Quinmor have fallen, and now after nearly twenty-one years the Khenná kingdom is on the verge of complete control over all four kingdoms. Atreyis knows how dangerous the world is, but she can't stand one more day stuck in the palace cooped up. As Descended, true dragon blood runs through her veins and she has all of the same strength and abilities her brother has, yet the king and queen prevent her from having "fun". All she wants to do is see everything, do everything, experience life, but once outside of her kingdom's protective walls she comes face to face with the harsh truth that is the real world. Assassins? Lies? Betrayal? Who is friend and who is foe? She was once the greatest general that the Khenná have seen in a thousand years. Since the tender age of fifteen, Ky has been groomed to be the perfect warrior. Her enemies fell before her as she furthered the Khennán king's reach. With her at the lead the Black Army is one battle away from establishing complete control over the four kingdoms. Never in the history of the nations has complete control been realized. But a choice to save her men costs her dearly. Now she is nothing more than a glorified lapdog of her arch enemy, her king's advisor. Much to the dismay of the advisor, and witch, she is starting to see the true intentions of those around her. The once certain and self-assured warrior finds herself at a crossroads that her years of training could have never prepared her for. Two worlds collide in the midst of the greatest war since the ancient times of dragons and demons. While misguided power struggles have led to disarray an old enemy lurks in the shadows waiting to pounce. Old demons are resurrected. Will the power of the dragons and their Descended be ready for what's in store?
