Princess Aelindra of the Silver Woods discovers a wounded dragon hatchling in the Whispering Glades—and learns that the last dragon of Elyndra has chosen her as its bonded keeper. But dark forces are gathering at the edges of the enchanted forest, drawn to the dragon's ancient power.

The forest itself seems to guide her steps, ancient trees standing sentinel as an unspoken agreement forms between princess and dragon. Will Aelindra prove worthy of the dragon's trust before shadow consumes the Silver Woods?
