Sides have been chosen and the battle lines have been drawn. After the awakening of the fire-tamer, Echo is now the only one with the power to face the darkness she inadvertently unleashed upon the world... directly into the waiting hands of Tanith, the new Dragon Prince. Tanith has only one purpose: to destroy her enemies, set their lands ablaze, and reign over a new era where the Drakharin are all-powerful and the Avicen are but a memory. The war that has been simmering for centuries is finally about to erupt. But the scales are unbalanced. Echo may hold the power to face the darkness within the Dragon Prince, but she has a long way to go to master it. And now she is tormented by uncertainty. Is she strong enough to stare into the face of evil and not lose herself in its depths? The war has started, and there is no turning back. There are only two possible outcomes: triumph or death.
