Heroes of legend rise again to face their greatest foe
Across the frontiers of the Six States, towns and settlements fall as the wild advances. Dragons take flight over cities where they are considered myths. Soldiers and citizens perish as the councils in the east bar their gates and hide behind their thick walls.
Hakon and the rest of the Band dive deeper into the mysteries of their world, forging a path deeper into the unknown lands. After all their battles, Hakon fears they lack the strength and the knowledge to finish this fight. But they press on, facing dangers both familiar and new.
Finally home in Mioska, Zachary takes his rightful place on the council with resounding authority. He's the hero of the city, and he alone sees clearly the dangers ahead. He believes humanity still has a fighting chance if he can band them together.
But old enmities run deep, and there's no time or space for mistakes. Ava and the dragons under her command grow closer by the day. Unless Zachary and the Band can find a way to stop her, this long winter will be humanity's last.
