Desperate to discover the origins of the giant knight sky raiders, Mu suffers another loss when the fortress town of Lon Leeton falls. Now the invaders have a bridgehead in the Empire and threaten the realm of Verderan.

​

Returning from Krakenlore with two wings of War Dragon, Warlord Draghi prepares Mu's defences.

​

In the outlands, the Druids and Elves rekindle an ancient fellowship to prepare for the gathering storm while the Essenee princes, Daarés and Henry, become deeper involved with their elven paramours. As a surprise gesture of goodwill, the Woodelven bequeath to humanity a cornucopia of mysterious One Forrest seedlings.

​

Can the dragon's sudden reengagement with Mu after a three-hundred-year absence be trusted? And why are they wary of the Elves and Druids? Will the Moontar route out Cheadle Conti before she divulges House Malikea's Moontar lineage? And what gifts will the seedlings bestow on humanity?

​

The plots deepen as more mysteries are uncovered in this fast-paced epic fantasy saga. 

​

On the eve of the Empress's coronation, Seneah, Markeesha's Druid stepmother, hinted that the Druids and the Severns had a history. What Seneah kept from Markeesha was an extraordinary inheritance that dark powers seek to uncover.

​

Unknown to the victors of Lon Leeton, the attack by Gravelexor, the giant firebreather, marked the re-ignition of hostilities between the First Ones. When Warlord Draghi travels north to secure Na Jehlum and Delseer's help to enlist the firebreathers, his plans go awry as the serpents strike.

​

Caught in deeper and darker Elvan mysteries, the Essenee princes question the romantic motivations of their Dark Elf and the Woodelven paramours. Justan sails to Caladera to consolidate palace ties and win an Illanthean princess's heart. Meanwhile, on the opposite shores of Lands End, Adel-son, the grotesque human and serpent slithman, unleashes a terrifying armada of serpent spawn.

​

Does Cheadle Conti cast the Empire into war by betraying her kind and revealing House Malikae's Moontar hidden lineage? What dreadful fate do the serpents plan for Krakenlore? And, what is the sensational truth behind the Severns' legacy?

​

An empire at war, Mu is threatened at sea and on land.

The Illanthean High Seas Fleet sets sail to intercept an armada of slithmen. The Fifth Imperial Brigade and a Dragon War Wing disembark to fight the Moontar army and the fearsome Ondagar. Curiously, the Fifth's commanders don't know they danced with enemy "Moon Maidens" at their swearing celebration.

Bigger questions arise when Tharoom, the Elvan homeworld, enters the heavens. Henry is confronted by Dark Elf lore as he treks into the giant timbers of the foreboding Daakal Forest. Meanwhile, the daring Daarés pursues trolls up north to face a grim fate foretold by Ju Deae, the Woodelven Oracle. Finally, the ever-watchful, meddling Krey emerge from the shadows as the mystery of the blue stones deepens, taking Nafandi Nosirran and Windtalker Jaeger into faraway parts.

Reeling from the stunning discovery of her ancestry, Markeesha goes to Port Zuker to help repel an invasion of thousands of slithmen and sliggazors.

Can Markeesha save the day? Will the Fifth prevail, and what dark past did the elves leave behind on Tharoom? Wheels within wheels turn as ancient legacies surface.

​

THE UNGER is coming!

 

Feared by the Elves and the World Walkers, no foe is more misunderstood or insidious than THE UNGER.

​

Can Mu resist this evil which spreads between worlds with irresistible might? Does the One Forrest or the Ancients Ones have an answer to defend Wydren? And what destiny awaits Nafandi Nossiran's Blue Stones Quest into the world of the Sky Elves.

​

Will Markeesha step down as promised at the end of Book 6? If so, can her successor rally humankind and its allies against the Unger's might? In this exciting final instalment, the mysteries are resolved as the plots within plots and wheels within wheels unravel.
