From humble beginnings, a heroine will be forged in fire. After a devastating retreat from the Army of the Dead, Lila fears her people will remain nothing more than a ragtag band of Raiders and their dragons. Even with the legendary Crown of Roskilde in her possession, uniting the Raiders seems impossible—it appears she isn't the one to fulfill Danu's cherished prophecy.

But Danu refuses to give up. Suspecting that the malevolent Ohotto has obtained an ancient book granting him unspeakable power, he believes help may come from an unlikely source: the Dragon Riders of Torvald. These courageous warriors could be their last hope to defeat Ohotto and Havick—but they are also the Raiders' sworn enemies. With no other choice, Lila, Danu, Crux, and their friends embark on a perilous journey into hostile territory to seek allies against the looming darkness.

To save her friends and her world, Lila must become the legendary leader she was born to be. Can she overcome deep-seated enmities and rally sworn foes against a common threat, or will clinging to the past doom them all?

Step into the Torvald Dragon Rider Universe—an interconnected saga told across six legendary dragon trilogies, eighteen books in all. Each trilogy can be listened to on its own, or experienced together as part of the epic saga of fire, flight, and destiny.
