Book overview
"Your destiny is calling to you. I can hear its song on the wind."
In the secluded swamp of the Shadestalker tribes, Ash always felt like an outcast. To a village of dragons who hide in the shadows, his glittering scales mark him as different. When an accident during his rite of passage leads to him unleashing his dormant powers, he learns a horrifying truth: he's not a Shadestalker at all, but a Firebreather. To make matters worse, the Firebreather kingdom was destroyed by the Ironscale empire thirteen years ago, and its dragons scattered to the four corners of Drakona.
Meanwhile, in the beating heart of the empire, Pike yearns to prove himself. As the youngest son of Emperor Bladesteel, everything he does is to differentiate himself from his older siblings. When the chance arises for him to lead a mission to the Shadowglades, he leaps at it. He can't let anything stand in the way of the destiny he desires. There's just one problem: a fugitive Firebreather has thrown all his plans into disarray.
When the two young dragons meet, their worlds change forever. Ash has to flee his childhood home with his brother Albuca to seek out the family he never knew. Pike has to make his way back to a home he hates, guided by the mysterious Hammer, a dragon who knows more than he reveals.
The path ahead is frought with danger, but it is one both must travel if they wish to learn the truth about The Lost Firebreather.
