Dragonlord Linden Rathan is the last-born of a race of immortal weredragons. He has spent six hundred years alone, searching endlessly for his soultwin while his fellow Dragonlords sit deep in their mountain keep at the crown of the world watching over humanity's Five Kingdoms.
When the Queen of Cassori dies under mysterious circumstances, Linden and the other Dragonlords are drawn once again into mortal affairs, this time to prevent civil war as two claimants vie for the regency.
This seemingly simple task is quickly complicated by the machinations of the Fellowship, a secret society of true-humans long thought dead - the return of which is steeped in a dark and terrible conspiracy to usurp the throne. As the battle for the rule of Cassori escalates, Linden finds himself drawn deep into the dark plans of the Fellowship, which holds the power to ultimately destroy his immortal life.
But hope arrives in the form of a beautiful young ship captain named Maurynna, Dark of hair and fiery of spirit, she may be the only one who can help Linden bring Cassori back from the brink of chaos - and may be his last chance for happiness, unless the Fellowship gets to her first...
