Now living as a despised dragon tamer, Xavier has learned to keep his head down and survive the humiliation thrown his way. Until a strange storm begins appearing in his dreams. Something ancient is calling to him. A forgotten dragon power is awakening inside Xavier, and the empire will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who carries the blood of a Sovereign. For the first time in years, Xavier has a chance to take back what was stolen from him. But becoming powerful comes with a price.
