Raelyn, the newest Champion of the Sky Guardian of Dark, arrives at Shardore Castle in the middle of Royal City, the uppermost tier of Nightreach. Raelyn finds herself, trying to unravel a complex knot of puzzling information in an attempt to follow through with a promise, along with completing the task she was given by the High Council in Eh'mah'lune. She must do this to prevent more lives from being lost--including her own. When morally grey areas begin to appear within the monarchy things start to get messy, and all Raelyn and her dragon can do is trust they will make the right decisions--or will those decisions turn DARK?
