For over four millennia, these ten races coexisted in periods of both peace and dissent.Young Thorn had everything he could ever want: someone to love and protect him, a full belly, the sand under his talons, and the sun on his back. Life in the desert couldn’t get any better. However, when his mother mysteriously disappears one morning, his life is flipped upside down. He’s left stranded, patiently awaiting her return. He knows she’ll come back for him....Hurricane, nephew to the emperor of the Stormfliers, is suffering from a recent betrayal. Struggling in the pits of despair, he believes that he'll never recover from the pain. He spirals further and further into anguish and depression, isolating himself from those around him.

If only he could fly away from his agony, escape the haunting, never-ending misery.But fate cares little for the lives and struggles of those called to serve. Destiny has a certain reputation of stinging those who carry it. Hurricane and Thorn might have problems of their own, but time has now ebbed into a new era of war.

With the rise of this new conflict come seven dragons destined to find the missing souls and bring balance back to Zurra...but are their mysterious powers and the prophecy going to be enough?
