He said no to a stranger in a dream-and doomed them both. Obsidian was just a boy when the dragons fell silent. Seven years before a world-changing war, he was the last full-blooded male dragon on the continent, unknowingly tethered to a powerful and dangerous force. She came to him dead, yet smiling-Volka, the phoenix queen, promising warmth and attention, seeking something else entirely. He only meant to be kind. But kindness has a cost. Now hunted, haunted, and hardened by loss, Obsidian must confront the devastation of a war he never wanted. His story is one of soul-wounds, impossible choices, and a power greater than fire. What he destroys... will never rise again. This novel precedes the events of Pyroxene's Journey and lays the foundation for the unraveling truth behind dragons, phoenixes, and the mind that once held them together.
