Kryo Karda looks to extend his empire. Only Hal’s relic can stop him from starting a war. Presumed dead, Hal awakens without his relic, but with his bond to Keershan intact. He’s lucky to be alive, but now must find a way to freedom. Though there’s a growing discontent with Kryo Karda’s rule, stopping a power like his will take strength that Hal and his friends do not possess. Anija coordinates her plan, while Hal begins a dangerous mission that will either work—or destroy what he has. When the danger of the empire is even worse than believed, all must risk everything for a chance at success, for failure means the end of all they know. The exciting dragon rider adventure fantasy continues!
