“A tale of epic war and sorcery with a strong appeal to dragon lovers of all ages.”—Library Journal
Having proved his mettle as a dragon flier in the war against the Roche, Hal Kalais has earned his place as Dragonmaster of Deraine’s aerial forces. Taking advantage of the enemy’s retreat, Hal leads three squadrons in a combined land and air assault to push the Roche back to their capital and end the war once and for all.
But just as victory appears imminent, the Roche reveal the true strategy of their withdrawal. Digging in behind fortifications on mountainous terrain, they can keep Deraine’s forces at bay indefinitely. The tide of battle turns for the worse when Hal is wounded and captured by the enemy—who are fully aware of the prize Dragonmaster in their possession. Now bound to a prison castle by dark sorcery, Hal plans a daring escape to secure not only his freedom, but also the freedom of his people….
