Aria Valtoren's destiny to ascend the throne and bond with the mightiest dragon of the nest was a future she had always accepted. Yet when the seam binding Elyndor's magic shattered, so did the anonymity of her name. Her father's death and the ensuing hunt for his dragon by those eager to dismantle the reign of the Dragonlords caught her off guard. Unprepared for the abrupt end to her sheltered life, Aria now faces a realm in turmoil. She must accomplish two vital goals: to find and be chosen by her destined dragon, who will soar the skies under her command, and to brace herself against the war that looms over them all.
