The nation of Enid and her united allies have stood for millennia. Now there are petty squabbles threatening to tear them apart. It is time for a new king and the tenth king Terrell chooses Tobin, an elven historian. Tobin is also a dragonrider and peacekeeper, well liked by many. Once he becomes the eleventh king, Tobin and his dragon Crunin are charged with the thankless job of trying to build unity among the nations once again. As king, he decides to invite others into the alliance, namely humans, which leads to more dissention. Tobin seems to have been put in an impossible situation. The unrest continues to grow as Tobin struggles to maintain peace, while an unknown force maneuvers from the shadows toward the destruction of Enid and her allies.
