Kalyenna Mi’artha, the last elf born in the forest of Kulash, is haunted by visions of extinction as her people are severed from their ancient connection to the land. When a mysterious epidemic of Disconnectors ravages her homeland and a companion star signals the end of an age, Kalyenna must leave the boundaries of her world to seek hope beyond. Joined by the enigmatic wizard Arthean and Brakus, a prince whose life is marked by loss and prophecy, Kalyenna’s journey becomes a quest to awaken Methana—the legendary green dragon and the only being able to bridge elf and human, past and future.

But the Tradition that once bound elf and human has been broken, and Brakus must face not only the destruction of his kingdom but the awakening of the De’Shel Lakin—mythic guardians whose spirits are tied to the revolution of the stars. As ancient evil resurfaces and vengeance tempts Brakus, only his bond with Kalyenna—a bond forged in love, sacrifice, and the struggle not to become the darkness they fight—can unite the world’s fractured heart-mind and ignite a New Dawn before the Long Night falls.
