Everything I thought I knew about Emperor Kaeto was completely wrong. Well… not quite everything. He’s still a bitter, acerbic bastard with a chip on his shoulder the size of a continent. He still fascinates and infuriates me in equal measure. But my quest to retrieve the stolen dragon eggs has somehow morphed into a quest to return Kaeto to his stolen throne. And by doing so, I’ve put those I care about in mortal danger. Our flight to safety in my aunt and uncle’s kingdom of Utrea succeeded only in bringing spies and assassins to my family’s doorstep.

For the first time in a thousand years, the Kingdom of the Isles has a government and a real ruler: Prince Garric of Haft. The enemies joining against him intend to destroy not only the kingdom but humankind as well. The rebels gathering in the West outnumber the royal army and the magic they wield can strike into the heart of the palace itself, but far greater dangers lie behind those. On the far fringes of the Isles, ancient powers ready themselves for a titanic struggle in which human beings are mere pawns - or fodder! Reptilian and insect monsters from out of the ages march on the kingdom, commanded by wizards no longer human or never human at all.
