In the depths of Blackwell Keep, the fragments of Draeken discovered the truth of their shattered soul. One among them is the fragment of Power. Malevolent and supreme, he has lurked within Draeken for ages, preparing for his ultimate ascendancy. Now he seeks four mighty generals so he can unleash Serak's limitless army. If he obtains his desire, his reign will be eternal. Weakened and outmatched, the fragments are not without allies. Assassins and queens, dakorians and Eternals, all stand united against Draeken's invasion. Gathering under a single banner, the people follow a desperate plan to end the war-before it consumes every kingdom and race. As the final battle looms, Elenyr will stop at nothing to protect her sons, even if it means a journey into the teeth of the enemy. In a war of ancient guardians, dragons, and titans, the bond of brotherhood will prove its might, for Draeken has his fiends, but Elenyr has her family. The Great Draeken War has begun.

The fragments of Draeken battle foes on two fronts. Wylyn, head of a powerful krey house, seeks the fabled Shard of Midnight, a massive tower rumored to have fallen during the Dawn of Magic. If it rises, she will bring her vast army to the shores of Lumineia. Her plan depends on Tardoq, her sworn protector, and the one with betrayal in his heart. And Serak, head of the Order of Ancients, who seeks Draeken's allegiance for a mysterious plan. Cunning and patient, Serak has gathered soldiers for an enemy yet to appear, trapped a mythical beast to power a forgotten mine, and kidnapped the monarchs from every kingdom. One of those taken is Rynda, queen of the rock trolls, a dangerous enemy to be caged. The fragment of Fire hunts them both, and relishes every fight. His journey will take him to forgotten ruins, gilded halls, and fabled towers, but the greatest threat comes from within, for inside the fragments of Draeken a malevolent force begins to stir. It has heard Serak's invitation, and desires the power being offered.

The fragments of Draeken have protected Lumineia for ages, but never faced such a foe. Serak, the Father of Guardians, has plotted for thousands of years, studying them in secret, even inciting conflicts to measure their power. Now allied with Wylyn, leader of the invading krey, he is even more dangerous, yet his true purpose is a mystery. The fragment of Shadow is sent in search of Wylyn's son. Intelligent and tactical, Relgor thinks himself a master of all, and wants the fragments for his own gain. Unfortunately for him, Shadow possesses a gift for evasion, and a desire for mischief. With the last guild assassin as a reluctant ally, Shadow is ready to hunt, for the most delightful prey is also the most deadly.

Born of magic in the final days of war, Draeken's power is near absolute-until his soul shatters, leaving five fragments. Each possesses a single magic, and a consciousness of his own. Trained by the Hauntress, they secretly quell threats throughout the kingdoms, and their mastery grows with every passing age. But their time of unity has come, for a dangerous new foe has arrived. Long thought extinct, the ancient race of krey has returned to Lumineia, and they seek dominion over what they had lost. With an Eternal at his side, the fragment of Water is sent north in search of their lair. But in the ruins of an abandoned temple he will discover a darker truth. Kept secret since the Dawn of Magic, the Order of Ancients has members hidden among thieves, assassins, and even kings. After a millennia of waiting they rise . . . from anonymity to war.
