As myth and history clash, old heroes will rise again. Treylen’s last mission revealed a clue in Oara Valley. This deserted elven kingdom, now an overgrown forest and the emperor’s hunting grounds, may be home to a den of dragons. With Marziel’s rise to power Treylen is given his own team to investigate the threat. It’s his chance to get away from the war and the cruel whims of their queen. For his team it’s an opportunity to finally show off their skills at hunting and wildcraft. But there’s a second team working in the valley. Led by Egin, a spymaster for the Queen’s Shadow, they were sent to ensure the mission is carried out as commanded. After their experience in the Dragon Lands, Treylen and Rime are determined to be the first to find dragons in Oara Valley. But in their race against Egin, they stumble into more trouble than they bargained for. Old alliances will be questioned. New paths will open. And nations will change.
