Ongoing war between Regalsturn and Landolstadt causes an embittered Hadregeon to rescind his oath to Loric, while Grylomoc of Nindronburg withdraws support due differences concerning the urgency of the quest to find and cure Evelyn the Maj'i of her curse.

As Loric struggles to bring these factions together under one rule, Lord Garrett returns.An alliance between the rightful Heir of Durbansdan and the Mistress of Seafarin threatens to destroy a kingdom on the verge of rebirth. To have peace, Loric must discover and put down a new threat to Beledon: the rise of a half-dragon army under the rule of Evelyn Motkinildora, the Dragon-Queen.Half-dragons are not the only challenges Loric must face. He must battle a giant, evil spirits and a test to his heart, while he dreams the future, lives in the present and walks in the past.
