By overthrowing his mother and seizing control of the clan, Julius thought he had done the right thing for everyone. But normal dragons don't share power, and with one seat still vacant on the new Council, all the Heartstrikers are willing to do anything to get it, even kill the Good Dragon who got them into it all. To keep the clan and themselves intact, to Julius we need to find a way to force our bloodthirsty relatives to play fairly. But it's not just politics happening on the Mountain. Every family has secrets, but the skeletons in Bethesda's closet are the size of dragons, and with the war with Algonquin on the horizon, uncovering the clan's secrets may be the only hope for salvation.
