The Dragon Prince - Book 1: Cold War

In this alternative storyline, set two years after the events in the show, best friends Callum and Rayla decide to continue working together to stop a war that has already been set in motion. Rayla has discovered a mysterious relative named Zalmai in the sunfire kingdom who may hold the secret to her parents disappearance. Rayla convinces Callum to join her because Zalmai is also a world renown Sunfire sage and could teach the young mage new magical abilities.

In this story, Virin was never able to escape his prison in Katolis and has slowly gone mad by Aaravos' cruel whispers. As for Rayla and Callum, well... they were never quite able to figure out their relationship in Season 3 and so they stayed friends and let the angst build for two agonizing years!

Author's Note: This fic was written between seasons 2 and 3. I decided to continue writing this fic as an alternative universe to almost everything the audience saw in Season 3
