Ana has found her magic, or has it found her? Either way, it isn't helping her find the friends she was snatched from. Surrounded by secrets, Ana needs to learn more of her own past from those who may have known her parents.

Ed and Dray search for a way to reach the capital and rescue her, Ed still unsure of the man he wants to be and Dray unsure what he will do when he finds her. As they hunt for a way back, something else hunts them and it may not slip as quietly into the night as they hope.

Amidst the indecision and uncertainty, they have lost a dragon. A big one. Although he has something far more important on his mind than kings and crowns.

Can they regroup, find each other and a way for the king to find his crown? Or will the world beyond the shadows consume them all?
