At the gates of a forgotten prison, Wulf Rome discovers a powerful artifact lost for eons. Now he has a weapon he can’t control, a war he can’t win, and an ally he doesn’t trust. Who knew seizing the crown was going to be the easy part? Netra is a headstrong young acolyte who is certain she has been chosen by the goddess. While the other women in the sisterhood she belongs to are cowering in their rooms, she wants to fight in the war.

After saving the woman he loves from the dark sorcerers of Ankhara, Fen realizes for the first time that his power can be a force for good. But the power is wild and uncontrollable and he doesn’t have long before it devours him as it did his father. His only hope is to summon one of the ancient Shapers and convince it to teach him what he needs to know.

Fen loses everything when his city is sacked by invaders. Orphaned and alone, he forms a strange bond with the city’s new ruler. He starts to carve out a life for himself, only to discover a strange power is awakening within him. The same power that killed his father. Aislin came from the sea, her origins a mystery. Like the sea, she is wild, unpredictable, and powerful. Feared and hated by the other children, she is bullied by them, until the day comes when she turns her power on them. Karliss is in training to become the next wind shaman for his tribe.

As the children of Stone, Sea and Sky struggle to master their powers, the inhuman denizens of the Abyss begin to move… Despite his efforts to suppress it, the power of Stone is awakening in Fen. The power is wild and implacable, and Fen knows it is only a matter of time before others learn his secret, and he loses everything. Unless his power kills him as it killed his father. Meanwhile, dark practitioners with unnatural powers have arrived in Samkara, and the Fist has fallen under their sway.

The Devourers have broken free of the Abyss and Fen's power is useless against them. Hunted mercilessly by the Devourers and their sorcerous allies, his friends captives, Fen seems to be out of options until an offer of help comes from an unlikely source. Will Fen be able to join forces with Aislin and Karliss before he is cut down by the Devourers? Or will they manage to get their hands on the last piece of the key and free the Queen of Chaos?

Jarryd and his friends barely survive an ambush by an Imperial death squad. But they do not survive unscathed, for the leader of the assassins has left the Queen’s mark on Jarryd. Now the Dragon Queen haunts Jarryd’s dreams, and his body is starting to change. He fears that soon he will belong to her.

Fleeing the white dragon, Shadar, Jarryd stumbles on a camp of nomadic Nagyar. There, he meets an old woman who reveals to him the truth behind the visions that have haunted him his whole life—a truth that is both promising and terrifying.

Jarryd risked everything to obtain the Thaumaturge stone, a weapon so powerful it devastated a nation. With it, he might have a chance against the Dragon Queen. If the weapon doesn’t kill him first. For the stone’s power grows by the day, and Jarryd’s friends fear what it is doing to him.

Nearly killed in his battle with the Emperor, Jarryd realizes the only hope for victory is if he masters the Sight, the strange ability he's feared his entire life. There is precious little time to do so. The Emperor and his dragons are gathering at Mocte'el for the ritual that will free the Dragon Queen. Unfortunately, Mocte'el is thousands of leagues away.

Jarryd and Hamisi, the first recruit to the Knights of Dragonwatch, emerge from the underground river and find themselves in the brutal jungle kingdom of Droth’alin. When they unknowingly break the law, they are captured and sold as slaves. Jarryd is sent to the gladiator pits, there to fight for the honor and standing of House Asfour. It is not long before he discovers his next recruit is also enslaved there—Kathor, a fierce warrior captured in the wars.

Jarryd has been haunted by visions since he was a small child, terrifying scenes of the Dragon Queen and her demons slaughtering the innocent. Visions he must keep secret, lest the village priest burn him and his family at the stake for consorting with evil. Lonely and outcast, Jarryd lives in fear that the smallest lapse will seal his fate and deliver his soul to the Dragon Queen. When he comes of age, a terrible change comes upon him. A strange power begins to manifest in him—a power that can only come from the Queen.

As Melekath's Guardians build an army—one burned soul at a time—Rome races to raise a force that can stand against him. But the shadow world of Pente Akka has awakened, and he is beginning to realize there are more enemies in this war than he ever imagined.

Poisoned by the shadow creature Ilsith, Fen can no longer summon the power of Stone. When the Ankharan sorcerers falsely accuse him of treason, he is imprisoned, and now faces execution as a traitor. His only hope is if he can get through to the Fist and help him see what is really happening in his kingdom.
