Thirty years after Queen Tearlach restored the dragons and brought life back to Pupandaka, a new nightmare emerges. An ancient mist-once sealed away for millennia-has returned, erasing every living thing it touches. Determined to protect the kingdom, sixteen-year-old Drele dreams of joining the fight. But Queen Tearlach refuses to let another child risk everything for Pupandaka. With the legendary dragon Tanark's help, Drele sets out in secret, hoping to prove they can make a difference. Yet some ancient evils were imprisoned for a reason, and facing this one may cost far more than anyone expects.
