Description:

Arkay has traded away her freedom to save a life. Now she's trapped, a political pawn of ThreeClaw's Hoarde and its disciplinarian general. An ocean away, Meph is the unwilling guest of an elegant dragon with a talent for mind games. A war is brewing. Lines are being drawn. Before Arkay and Meph can even think about escape, each will have to decide whose side they're on.
