Alissa and Reith are determined to make the dangerous journey back to the capital with vital information. All they have to do is cross an unstable swamp inhabited by giant eels and carnivorous plants, get past the enemy slave camp on the coast, and somehow make it across the ocean to Pangaea without getting captured. The sinister threat already implanted deep in Reith’s history could make the task impossible, but if they can learn each other’s skills and work together, they might have a chance.

The epic conclusion to the series, as Ariel and Marin venture into the devastated swamplands of Rapathia and confront the corrupted Emperor controlling its capital. Summoning the dragon always brings danger and challenging demands—and this time Ariel has to solve the sinister mystery of a city in the sky.

The aftermath of a deadly battle in the desert sparks a power struggle at the heart of Irithen’s military leadership. It will take everything Alissa and Reith can do to avert a disaster that would lead to their ultimate defeat.

The desert holds new dangers and the oasis cities are unprepared. Alissa and Reith struggle to find each other again in Pangaea’s increasingly precarious situation on the brink of invasion. Stolen military secrets, disrupted route-finding, and ambitious warlords are converging to inflict a deadly conclusion.

Alissa discovers a secret Resistance outpost in Pangaea’s icy northern wastes while trying to understand why Reith seems to have abandoned her–as well as trying to remind herself that this is so not the time to fall for Janis, the charismatic rebel leader.

Ariel returns from fighting orcs in Isandor to discover that her home has changed–and not for the better. Strategy becomes as essential as the strength to fight, as Ashkar’s dark influence works its way into tensions old and new.

Isandor has been at war for centuries, holding back the orc-legions of the Darklord Ashkar that threaten the kingdoms of the west. Ariel and Marin answer the beleaguered country's call for aid, only to encounter mistrust and mystery amid the hopes of an alliance.

Ariel has earned her place with the elite Mage-warriors of the Eldrin, sworn to protect King and country–but power comes with a cost. The Elementals who can bestow dragonfire and ice-skills are wild and unpredictable, focused on their own long-term goals.

Alissa returns to Kar in her quest to track down the shadowy syndicate behind the plot in the desert, only to find her search blocked as much by the constraints of university life as by the threats and deadly attacks she encountered in Irithen.

Somewhere deep in the wild swamplands of Rapathia there will be a final confrontation with evil forces that could yet overrun the whole of the known world. She joins the elite team of Eldrin defenders to search for the original cause of the war, only to discover far more than they bargained for. Meanwhile, back in Samaran, Ariel's sister is once more in danger from unexpected sources as she investigates traitors perilously close to the king and crown prince.

A mysterious stranger. A murderous ambush. A sinister plot in the deep desert. And a fleeting image of a future romance.

All she ever wanted was to survive the hard training and be accepted into the elite Order of Webdancers, the guardians of Primae IV who risk their lives patrolling the remote wilderness.

In a last desperate attempt save Samaran from the invaders, Ariel ventures into the scorching deserts of Annubia to train with the deadly Nishan assassins. She knows the old king is too weak to inspire and lead a rebellion to oust the occupying army. If she fails to return home in time to use her new skills, Marin will be forced to break his oath to the Eldrin, reveal his lineage, and claim the throne.

As the ruthless Imperial invasion tightens its grip on Samaran, Ariel's fighting skills earn her a cautious acceptance from the elite Eldrin defenders. This new trust does not last long. AA confrontation with her arch enemy Akadian in the frozen Northlands pitches her into a race against time to prove her loyalty before her past catches up with her. Now only Marin's love and understanding can stand between her and a dark future.

Blade adepts are hated and feared–and ultimately hunted down and killed. She has no choice. It's her only chance to rescue her sister from capture and slavery by the the ruthless Rapathian invaders. It feels like a desperate but simple decision until she meets Marin, Captain of the Eldrin, the elite force protecting King and realm from attack. Pledged to fight invaders, they are also sworn to capture and kill dangerous Blade adepts.

The powerful Fae warrior was a mystery. Her origins were not Elvish from the Western Isles, but neither were they Djinn of the Annubian deserts or Kaan from the forested swamplands of Rapathia. The warring tribes of Eldaran hailed her as the leader they had been waiting for. Someone who at last could win their freedom from the powerful Elementals who had dominated their lives for too long.
