Aralaiah has decided to go on with her teaching tours in defiance of the Sorcerers. But, knowing that the Sorcerers are trying to kill her is taking a toll on her mental health. Red Queen is still insisting that Aralaiah is Ghlent come again, which really doesn’t help. And, if the Sorcerers already have agents up there in Dracos, how long will it be before they mount an actual military assault on the place? Varen Gebit doesn’t think it will be very long at all. The intelligence people believe it will come before winter, and Ullra Mobit is trying to get the Dragonesque troops in the Lowlands recalled so they can defend Dracos instead. But, all that is someone else’s worry. There is nothing Aralaiah and her team can do about it, so they just continue with what they’re doing, teaching the Dragonesque how to do better magic. Meanwhile, there is a welcome distraction when Draken returns with Pryn, who has come to Dracos as part of the drive to recruit artisans from the Lowlands to fill the gaps left by the Dragonesque artisans, who are now mostly in the army. The impending invasion is almost forgotten as Aralaiah, Beda and Draken set out to show Pryn around Dracos City and help her establish her business up there. And then, Aralaiah and her team encounter a badly-wounded dragon who claims to have seen Sorcerers climbing the rocks towards Dracos, and the war and the prospect of invasion suddenly become very real and very close indeed. Did the dragon see what he thought he did? And, if so, what does that mean for the residents of Dracos, both human and dragon?Join Aralaiah Sentin, Rainbow Mage and her team of tutors and dragons as they continue their mission to educate all Dragonesque in the new magic against a backdrop of invasion that may be even more imminent than anyone believes.
