The Secret Texts have foretold that, after a millennium waiting
for revenge, the Dragons will be released. But the Dragons have also read the Secret Texts . . . and have spent a millenniur ensuring they can control which prophecies do - and do not - come true.

The young diplomat Kait Galweigh and the megalomaniacal
Crispin Sabir are both fugitives, in search of the ancient artefac
known as the Mirror of Souls. Kait believes the Mirror's magic
will restore to life her lost kin, massacred by Sabir necromancy
Crispin believes the magical object will make him a god.
Both are terribly wrong. For the Mirror contains the captive
spirits of the Dragons, long-dead sorcerers who once
conquered the world with their arcane magic.
