Their flesh faded like smoke at the edges, and they charged with the desperation of the dead. Behind her, the cries of her people rang out. Children. Mothers. Warriors. All running. All afraid. She turned back just in time to see a figure break through the herd. A stallion. Massive. Golden. His eyes were stars—burning white-hot and endless.

My name is Azura Chasm, I am mated to Cyran Chasm and the Keeper of the Dragon Stone. They are here because we need your help.” All eyes moved from Kellan in his Dragon form and Cyran as they landed on me with surprise. Feeling awkward, I shifted from one foot to the other.
