The Dragon Queen

The sun will burn brightly tomorrow

Elinta has been left reeling in the aftermath of the attack on Nevira and the losses sustained. Now, more than ever, she's certain that Mazen must be stopped. But Elinta's bond with Zhayra seems to be merely a shallow reflection of his and Vaherin's. And if Elinta's suspicions prove correct, the maroon dragon isn't the only one he's bonded to.

But Elinta's worries about the bond are put on hold when Lorrin's parents agree to approach the Asali for a temporary alliance. Liyarna, no longer the safe city Elinta stayed in mere weeks ago, isn't the only place Elinta must visit. There is one more group she hasn't approached. One that hasn't seen Eldras in over a hundred and fifty years. It's time for the heir to go home.

As Elinta races to find allies for the final battle against Mazen one question continues to bounce around her head; how did he come to be like this? Elinta can't help worrying that she might not find a way to stop him before she loses someone else.
