From the time he was named the Dragon Rider, Peace had known he would someday become King of Highland. From the time of his hatching, Ember, his dragon, had known he would someday reign with his master. Now the pair will face their final test before they can ascend to the throne.

For centuries, the great Kingdom of Highland has governed the land of Tarenthia with legendary wisdom and fairness. Now, according to tradition, Peace and Ember must follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, take up the mantle of a Dragon Rider pair, and roam among the peoples they will someday rule. For ten years they will act as peacekeepers and mediators to better understand their subjects and learn all of the duties that will come with being King.

But unlike in the days of their forefathers, a new and terrible foe has been plotting the destruction of Highland. Without warning, Peace and Ember soon find themselves pitted against a hidden enemy whose cunning and ruthlessness run far deeper than they could imagine. Caught up in a web of schemes and treacheries designed to tear them apart, will the pair be able to pull through and save their homeland? Or will the legacy of the Dragon Rider die with them?

From the day he became the Dragon Rider, Peace had vowed to protect Ember. From the day his brother Justice had been made a general of Highland, he had vowed to protect the honor of the throne. Now the two find themselves at a crossroads as they face their greatest challenge of all.

Disaster has struck the Dragon Rider Pact. Without his dragon companion, Peace is forced to lead a desperate attack in enemy territory while Justice must battle to save Highland from destruction. But the schemes of their foe have only just begun, and it soon becomes clear that deeper forces are at work than either of them ever expected.

All hope now rests on a venture that finds itself pitted against impossible odds at every turn. Justice, cold and relentless, is determined to destroy all who oppose Highland, but Peace still clings to the hope that his dragon can be saved. Only together can they possibly dare to attain victory against their most devious of enemies. But as they struggle to stand against overwhelming forces, they find themselves pitted against each other as they battle over Ember''s fate. Outwitted and outmatched in a dangerous land, will the two be able to restore the honor of the Dragon Rider Pact? Or will failure mark the end of Highland forever?
