There is a bloody war being waged between the mage-ruled Kingdom of Ludnikan, led by the dark elf armies of the Nameless King, against the Elven Kingdom of Nadezhda and her ally, the Kingdom of Niadhardal. The Scaled Fist and Nexus are barely holding their enemies at the borders, thanks to the dragons continuously being recruited by their only dragon speaker, Captain Isobel the Red Knight.
Captain Isobel flies to Nadezhda with her dragon companion, Smoke, on a mission to deliver Aleksei, Akulina and Evfimi’s son, to the Elf Queen in order to discover what secrets are buried in his thoughts. However, the dark elves have other plans for Isobel and Aleksei, which puts the war and the future of humanity in the balance.
