Touched by something strange and old, he knelt before her.

Tristan Rhymer has grown up on stories of Albion, a realm of wolves and wild woodlands. A realm of magic and monsters. A realm to which he and his parents must soon return.

But although Albion has flourished under the triumphant reclamation of Queen Mab, an attempt on her life exposes a dangerous new threat, summoned from the darkest corners of the long-ago ruined Iron Keep.

To defend her people and save her realm, Mab must seek the aid of a dragon. A dragon who waits in a forgotten cage, hidden deep in the ancient woodlands.

Tristan must learn to harness his newfound magic and ally with old enemies against the threat that will otherwise raze Albion to a wasteland of salt and ash and bone.
