The true reason for the hatred of the Fifth Dragon is far more terrifying than Asha had assumed. The revelation turns her understanding of the knowledge gained in the temple upside down and plunges her into a sea of doubts. Can she trust her dragon as before?
Ryan and Naeon gather the other guardians and allies to reclaim the captured lands, but they cannot do without the help of Emperor Khorin, who sees significant profit in the fall of the Western province.
The only way to stop the Fifth Dragon is to kill its true body. However, can his brothers take such a desperate step, when in reality only he can help them regain what they've lost?
A grand climax of Lii Arden's Asian duology, the author of the super-popular cycle about Maras and Morrow, the adult fairy tale "November's Bride" and the tetralogy "Descendants of the First."
The total circulation of Lii Arden's books approaches 800,000 copies.
Lie and betrayal, friendship and love - where is the truth, where is the deception, and who can be trusted? Asha will have to unravel everything herself.
Powerful dragons embodied in guardians - who are they, omnipotent god-like beings or prisoners of circumstance and their shortsightedness? Do they care about the lives of mere mortals, or do they pursue their own goals, using people?
The battle for the fate of the homeland, for the honor of the name, and for those dear to them, for true feelings tested by trials and hardships - all intertwines in Lii Arden's new book, proving that true strength of spirit can withstand any enemies.
