Blamed for the tragedy in the castle of Ellende, Kail and the rest of the Platinum Rebellion have escaped to the outskirts of the mountain city of Acklentawn.

Six months have passed since they fled the castle on that fateful day. Kail blames himself for the deaths of Claskan's loved ones and the hundreds who fell. Training has gone well with his mentors, and he's learning the powers he needs to understand in order to fully embrace the dragon within.

The city of Acklentawn needs a savior from the King and his devious tactics. A drug has been introduced to the city, and filth and hatred fill the city streets. Can Kail complete his training in time to save the city, and bolster the rebellion enough to withstand Ocelot and the forces of Ellende?

In the second book in Kenneth L. Powell's Dragonkind series, secrets will be revealed, love will be forged, and the herald of heresy will bring destructive change to those around him.
