Brandon Thorne needs answers, and he isn't finding them in Cadira. Leaving behind his friends-and the girl he swore to protect-Brandon embarks on a quest to find an ancient being few have ever seen: The last Oracle of Laziroth. But he has met the strange being before, chained to a cave, hidden deep in the mountains where dragons once slept. He must make the deadly trek back to a land he hasn't set foot in since the death of his love, a land now taken over by Dragon Hunters and drained of magic. This time, he must do it alone if he wants to find the answers he seeks. Because he fears that what the oracle reveals may change his life forever. Pirates, Dragon Riders, and the promise of war follow Brandon as he chances Laziroth. He should fear the path of destiny... even his own.
