While the kings of neighbouring countries, Kralken and Vakaaria, stir hatred within their peoples against each other, sorcerers are hunted under the Decree of Death and dryads are kidnapped and bred for battle. People across the kingdoms are frightened, hungry and longing for war.
Valla, a resourceful and resilient girl, lives on an island hidden from the rest of the world. She knows nothing of the impending battle, sorcerers, giants or dryads, but she dreams of a life of her own, free from her harsh uncle and the boredom of village life. When tragedy strikes, Valla flees with two mysterious companions.
As Valla tries to figure out what she wants from her new life, she struggles with her feelings for the mysterious boy with so many secrets, and her feelings for the omniscient sorcerer that haunts her dreams. And all the while an evil stirs in a black tower...
As Valla finds herself betrayed and uncertain of who she can trust, she turns to the enigmatic sorcerer who speaks to her in the night, who whisks her away to the secret obsidian pillar and offers her safety.
With allegiances tested, and friendships broken, Valla fights to save those she loves at the risk of losing herself.

Now he found himself falling for the fierce blond human that seemed hell bent on sacrificing herself for her people. For Nyx, a selfish, self-centered dragon, her reasoning is irrational and utterly foolish. In between protecting his new obsession and convincing her that he was worth falling for, can the two navigate the political plays and ultimately end up together. Or will Nyx be destined to watch the things he loves burn to the ground?
