The dragons have mysteriously vanished from the lands of Valadae-except one. With no memory of his past, or what happened to his kin, Laeka'Draeon begins the daunting quest for answers, well aware the stakes are more than personal. If the dragons fail to return and restore the waning magic of the legendary towers of Klonnoth Aire, the consequences could bring about the return of an ancient and devastating enemy. The peace between the eleven allied kingdoms hangs in the balance, and only Laeka'Draeon can set things right.

Laeka’Draeon is the last dragon in Valadae. The key to finding his missing kin lies in the prophecy obtained through the centaur prophet, Belzor Ven’Ho. To interpret its hidden meanings, Laeka’Draeon and his companions must journey to heart of the Raegelian forest, wherein resides the legendary seer, Lady Megandel. But the enemies of the old wars have already set their plans in motion, threatening far more than Laeka’Draeon’s quest. A terrible doom grows on Valadae’s horizon, and the power to avert it resides in the mysterious Beacon Thrones―a power only a dragon can revive.

“So, you are willing to do anything for the chance to rescue your friend—that is what you are truly saying, yes?” Laeka’Draeon and his companions have awakened the first of the Beacon Throne guardians. But only with the power of all four guardians can he hope to stop Valadae’s imminent destruction and fulfil his calling as the last of the dragons. His journey takes him west, into a kingdom rife with conflict and unexpected perils. And when one of Laeka’Draeon’s friends is captured by Trappers, his actions lead to terrifying consequences. Twisted magic, wicked schemes, and a choice that threatens to doom his quest to failure—Laeka’Draeon faces his greatest challenge yet, and this time the powers of a dragon are useless.

The first two Beacon Throne guardians have been awakened. The third lies far away to the east, beckoning Laeka’Draeon and his companions onward in their race to stop a second Manna Eruption from destroying Valadae. But with every achieved triumph the danger grows, not only from the enemies of the old wars, but from within Laeka’Draeon’s own company. And from across the spans of Valadae, the centaur prophet Belzor Ven’Ho rises to the call of destiny and, along with his closest companions, takes up arms in a bid to aid in Laeka’Draeon’s quest by breaking the enemy’s hold over the northern kingdoms. The forces that have shaped the young dragon’s journey so far are set to converge, and the effects will be felt across all of Valadae.

The enemy's final plan is in motion. Valadae stands on the brink of annihilation. The dragons must be found at all costs. Three Beacon Thrones are restored. One remains. With a new revelation on the dragons, Laeka’Draeon is at last closing in on uncovering the mystery of their disappearance. Sadukravon’s hordes have struck the first blow against Valadae, forcing the allied kingdoms to launch a Second Gathering. But without the might of the dragons or the magic of Klonnoth Aire, the first counter-attack could be Valadae’s last. Laeka’Draeon and his companions undertake their final trials under a terrible weight of urgency, coming face-to-face with astonishing discoveries and devastating truths. All mysteries will unravel under the looming shadow of a battle that will shape the future of Valadae and all its creature-kinds.
