Dracia Yates, the High Captain of the Sentinel, is dealing with the consequences of the Battle of Winsdell. Having been saved by the magic of Princess Lilith, she is now linked with the royal family of Navalia as she suffers attacks from them regularly. Those around her work to find a way to sever the bond between her and Navalia before it is too late. Dracia readies herself to travel to Navalia with the royal family and the Cassendar court, pledging that she will save those she loves and her kingdom even if she has to sacrifice herself. Dracia’s second, Roderick Ellis, is worried about the attacks within as much as the attacks without as he does everything he can to protect his High Captain. His brother, Galen, continues to train, coming closer and closer to realizing his dream of becoming an Elite of the Sentinel. Prince Leal spends his time trying to keep Dracia safe, and looking for a way to save his kingdom and himself from the Navalians. Some secrets will come to the surface, and some will be protected as the kingdom of Lanoxan grows closer and closer to war and destruction, making some wonder if the Cassendar Curse is true.
