Lina Edenfril never felt the desire to start a war, and her partner, Nok Feireiner, never wanted to set foot on the battlefield again. But when their enemies join forces, they have no choice but to fight. While Nok takes steps to reclaim his throne, Lina acts as the new Crown of the Council of Spellcasters, seeking a way to stop the enemy from resurrecting an ancient dragon that is destined to burn their world to the ground. But no matter how hard Nok and Lina fight, the odds are stacked against them , and soon a winged shadow reigns over Landria. It is then that they learn the true price of victory: in order to tame the terrible creature, Lina will have to sacrifice her own heart... and perhaps lose herself in the process.
