The dark forces of shadow are crawling up from their seclusion.

Lady Shey arrives in a mountain village rumored to be the home of powerful future magic wielders.
But is she too late to train those who are taught to hate and fear magic.

An innkeeper's son and his friends are caught up in the plans of a sorceress and her companions who are on a quest to restore magic and stability to the kingdoms. But magic is outlawed in the lands where she is to find the descendants of a time past, forcing her to be creative.

The enemy has created an almost undetectable shapeshifting monster who is also seeking out the progenies of the past for a very different reason.
Unable to detect the creature, the sorceress may be unwittingly leading it directly to its prey.
Time is of the essence and time is running out.

You'll love this tale of magic, dragons, lost loves found and found loves lost. Take an epic journey across vast and strange lands where wielders of magic struggle to take control of a great wasteland teaming with magic just under the surface waiting to be discovered.

This is a second edition with significant changes to the first run of the title.
