Aided by the sword, Dragon's Fang, Prince Samir has found new confidence in his hard won skills. Now he has a new tool in his ongoing battle against the dragons--one that may eventually help him retake his throne. But first, he must keep his word and finish what he started, mastering himself in the process. For the Wizard, Jenaris, the strange chain of events that interrupted his solitary life has brought him to a place of absolute wonder--the ruined palace of a long dead mage. There, a potential wealth of knowledge waits for him to find the key to unlocking its secrets...if it doesn't prove to be his undoing. Yet even this may not be enough to overcome the threat that lies before them. With the threat of dragons returned after hundreds of years, the Acedian Prince, Caleb, has grown in his skills and in the role of a leader. Now his abilities are stretched to the limit. Outpaced by a surprising turn of events, he and his friends must quickly find their footing and fight to recover what was taken. But time is running out. They will all be put to the test...with a kingdom hanging in the balance.
