After saving Sylandris with the help of the crystals, Fae and Alysion find themselves in Lyrellis, the elves' royal city. But life in the palatial tree is no holiday. Between his lack of magic and his relationship with Alysion, the noble elves are not welcoming to Fae. In fact, they are determined to make his life miserable, harassing him in the halls and turning his daily lessons into nightmares. It doesn't help that Alysion, busy with his growing responsibilities, never has time for him. To top it off, Fae has a strange vision during the fall equinox festival, one that warns him about a royal heir. But the vision is cut short, leaving him with more questions than answers. Who is the heir, and what danger do they pose to Sylandris?

Ash, travelling with dragons Gale and Cane, has arrived in Fiiraania. Despite being an emissary for the elves, he must go undercover, disguising himself as a dragon named Ranath to avoid getting eaten. After living a lie in Sylandris, what's another name and false identity to him? Upon their arrival, the group is denied seeing the vorais, the leader of the dragons, to whom they must report their findings about a copper dragon's death in Odenia. Instead, they must meet with power-hungry Vyrmyris who wants nothing more than to go to war with the elves. But so long as Vyrmyris doesn't learn the truth about the copper's death things should be fine, right? Yet shadows lurks behind every mountain, and after Tarathiel's betrayal, Ranath doesn't know who he can trust. His heart is tested when he meets another young dragon. Do they truly want to be his friend, or do they have an ulterior motive that could spell disaster for their races?
