Blitz is meant to be a rampaging Devastator Dragon. Unfortunately, lighting his own hearth fire isn't really a strength. When he accidentally kidnaps the black Princess Azania, the most beautiful woman in all the realms, riches, honor, and undeniable glory beckon.

Six years have passed since Hualiama and Grandion defied the Island-World's most sacred law. They burned the heavens together as rider and dragon.

Amaryllion Fireborn, last of his kind, bequeaths Hualiama an astonishing legacy.

As a black Princess of T’nagru, this spirited beauty is by definition the most unforgettable woman in the 17 realms.

Hualiama, a foundling, adopted into the royal family. The power of a friendship which paid the ultimate price.
