The great dragons are the source of military might and power in Ashuak. Yet now, as Sukaal Vekesh leads to Ashuak army in a desperate war with its neighbouring nations, the dragons are refusing to answer the call of the Dragon Priests. Have the dragons found the Genesis Stone without human help, or is there something the priests are missing?

For Shana and her Jaru people, the turmoil in the Empire signals their best chance to finally end their servitude and restore Jaru independence. But they must act decisively and quickly, before the dragons come...

And in the Sekesu capital, Alwyn teaches the Jaru the way of peaceful resistance, until he is finally faced with a choice: save his people through reason and dialogue, or through the powerful magic he can now access.

As the lives of the three leaders, intertwine in their separate struggles for peace, the great dragons act to force the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy that they, alone, will rule all the lands.
