While Arlo contends with the many new demands his fresh crown has earned him, the wider world is on edge in the wake of yet another disaster.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.
