Aeryn Rivell has been a prisoner for over a year. Held captive and forced to endure the horrors of prison, the only thing keeping her from giving up is the silver eyed boy in the cell next to her... and her dragon, Sakala, waiting for her on the outside. After an old friend breaks in to help her escape, Aeryn finds herself on the run in a kingdom sworn to wipe out dragons entirely. Hunted by the king's most ruthless trackers and traveling with those who could betray them at any moment, Aeryn and Sakala's only hope lies in making it to the neighboring kingdom of Kalis, where freedom awaits. But it soon becomes clear that there's more at stake than their freedom, and Aeryn must face her past and embrace her future when she discovers that she might be the only one who can save the warring kingdoms.

Homes are burned, and lives are cut short as the Holy Inquisitors and their paladins aim to destroy all forms of sorcery. The king is forced to watch as his country burns, however high in the mountains, there remain several who know the stars shine bright when the hour is darkest. Many thanks to Kyra for the awesome cover, you rock!
