The days to fix the Time Stones are running thin. The Seer has fallen to Sun Sickness. The Blood Fire Throne still has no heir. After escaping the devastating battle between Mhaedin and Rangvald's forces, Eirin, Drystan, and their friends set out for Iilaedin, the Dragons' Fire Blood Throne, to fix the Time Stones. The journey, however, is difficult in more ways than one. Solevar is more ravaged than they had imagined, and tension strains their little band as Eirin and Drystan struggle to heal their broken bond. To make matters worse, Eirin falls deathly ill to the Sun Sickness just as they learn that Rangvald is making his way to Iilaedin as well. Still, the Seer and the Dragon are unable to deny the changes they begin to see in themselves and one another as they draw closer to the royal city. And with those changes, a glimmer of light in which bold choices and wishes are made. But hope is perilous, and as they muster the last of their allies, they know this will be their final stand. There is no one else. If the Seer and the Dragon cannot rise to chase away the darkness, there will be no dawn.
