The dragon Mynos is on his way to join his mate, Malnan, for the birth of their offspring when he's suddenly hit with a magical shockwave so strong; it leaves no room for doubt what it means. His Crystal has been stolen.

Racing back to Castle Templestone, Mynos rallies every dragon to find it, knowing time is of the essence. Not only is the life of King Timothy in the balance, but whoever wields the Crystal can become a formidable foe. They soon find the talisman, but what they find is more than they bargained for. Not only is one mage focusing his power through the gem, but an entire army of mages has linked their consciousness with it!

Left and right, scores of dragons die in the skies from the incredible magic being wielded. Yet Mynos deftly avoids his own death, knowing that his own creation can never harm him. However, when the mighty golden dragon sees his own mate killed right before his eyes, can Mynos find it within himself to beat the army that's gathered to defeat him? And will he have the strength to go on knowing that he is now the last dragon of Lyndaria?
