15-year-old Tristan finally has a chance to excel with his growing powers in a safe, supervised location. But his past haunts him, dragon slayers hunt him, and the reality of his existence will change everything.

An uprising in the realm of dragon spirits forces the ghostly ancestors to make a choice: join the rebellion and support Tristan in freeing the Faerie races, or support the council in their desire to keep a centuries-old contract from falling apart. The stakes are high for either choice and Tristan must decide for himself, which of the races will be sacrificed for the greater good.
