They saved the world. We destroyed them. When the sky burns red and the world trembles beneath a storm of falling fire, destruction sweeps across every kingdom. Villages are reduced to ash. Cities crumble. The end of all things seems certain. And then… the dragons return. Led by the ancient First Flame, Aurelion, dragonkind rises once more—uniting in a final act of defiance to shield the world from annihilation. For the first time in generations, humanity witnesses the truth: Dragons were never the enemy. But fear is a powerful force. In the aftermath of salvation, suspicion spreads like wildfire. Kings whisper of control. Armies prepare for what they do not understand. And in a single act of betrayal, the guardians of the world are turned to stone—frozen in silence, their sacrifice repaid with treachery. Refusing to accept this fate, Princess Cinatia Harthwyn abandons her home and sets out on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth behind the ancient magic that created dragons… and the power that might restore them. Joined by a disgraced captain, a hardened dwarven smith, and a wizard haunted by his past, Cin follows a trail of forgotten knowledge that leads to a legend long dismissed as myth—the Wellsprings of Life. If they still exist, they may hold the power to undo the greatest betrayal the world has ever known. If they do not… Then the age of dragons is over.
