Ethan Blackwing has always been an outsider—a chronicler born to warrior parents, destined to record history rather than make it. When he's tasked with backcasting Lysa, a rare and powerful Shadowkin, their unexpected connection ignites something forbidden, something that could either save their realm or destroy it.

But nothing is as it seems. A dark force infiltrates Mid-Realm through a magic portal and Ethan discovers that the line between loyalty and betrayal is as fragile as spun glass. When the unthinkable happens and a Human breaches their sanctuary, Ethan must confront both an ancient evil and his own prejudices to protect everything he holds dear.

From the magnificent obsidian spires of Draig Goch to the shimmering territories of the Ironclad, author Lenore Ashwood weaves a captivating tale where dragon shifters guard ancient powers, forbidden connections challenge the laws of an ordered society, and the power of memory becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
