The Phoenix Library once depicted dragons as worldly giants—winged and fire-breathing beasts from the time of the ancients.
Minqlon dragons of the tundra are not these things, and the library is in ruins. The Phoenix are gone, but the old ones remember their words: Beware the blood-stealers and steer clear of their realm.
Eclipse, the newest seat of the Alpine Ruins Council, embarks on his first migration to the basking grounds at the edge of the hinterlands where unknown shadows reside. With the discovery that something is wrong with their magic source—the very magic that sustains life and flight—he must come to terms with the brutal truth of nature or watch his flock waste away in corruption.
From the debut author comes an ecological fantasy of desert and winter lands, featuring nature’s beauty and brutality, the alchemy of understanding, the metamorphosis it brings, and the noise of it all.
