Book Synopsis

A stolen egg. A grieving dragon. A hunt built on lies.

Aurix, an ancient gold dragon, has lost the one thing he cannot replace-his unborn child.

When the dragon egg hidden within his mountain sanctum is stolen, grief becomes fury. Following the trail of the thief, Aurix unleashes destruction upon a woodland homestead, never realizing the true culprit has already escaped.

The thief is Darkmoor, a necromancer obsessed with immortality.

Hiding his crime behind ash and tragedy, Darkmoor hires a company of mercenaries to hunt the dragon, painting Aurix as a monster while concealing the truth that started it all.

A fallen knight.

A sharp-eyed ranger.

A dwarven warrior.

A thief.

A gravewarden bound to the teachings of Velis.

As the hunt pushes deeper into burned forests, forgotten ruins, and ancient dragon lands, the story they were told begins to unravel.

Because the dragon is not the villain.

And the man paying for the hunt is not the victim.
