The Scorched Reckoning
They want the Nightshade back. The dragon won't let him go.
When a Pyrin envoy arrives at the Academy bearing impossible news—seven dragon eggs discovered in a sealed volcanic temple—Callen knows the fragile peace he's built is already over. Every power in the realm wants those eggs. The Kingdom sees a threat. The Keepers see an abomination. And a reformed Black Veil, led by someone who knows every technique Callen was ever taught, sees a weapon.
To protect the eggs, Callen must journey east into the heart of a rising Pyrin nation—a people claiming Nora as their symbol and the eggs as their birthright. But the Black Veil's new commander isn't after the clutch. He's after Callen. And he carries a secret about a job the Nightshade completed years ago—one that ties Callen to these eggs, to his dragon, and to a betrayal he never knew he committed.
As old loyalties fracture and new alliances ignite, Callen faces the one enemy his dragon bond can't the truth about who made him—and why.
The past doesn't stay buried. It hatches.

Not the best in the series
While the storyline was interesting, the telling of the story was annoying. The stilted writing style was like the authors knew they had word quota and wrote a paragraph by repeating a sentence five different ways to fill the space. They attempted to be profound and mysterious but came off as pretentious and awkward.

Deep
Having read six books, of the series, I'm really impressed with how deeply the story carries the reader. I will have to finish the series. This is a given!
