The long-awaited prequel to The Dragonbone Chair.

Among the immortal Sithi of Osten Ard, none are more beloved and admired than the two sons of the ruling family: steady Hakatri and his proud, fiery younger brother Ineluki. Ineluki, who will one day become the undead Storm King.

But when Ineluki makes a bold, terrible oath to destroy Hidohebhi, a terrifying monster, he drags Hatraki into a disaster that threatens not just their family, but all the Sithiβ€”and perhaps all of humankind as well...

Set a thousand years before The Dragonbone Chair, the story is told by Pamon Kes, Hatraki's faithful servant. A member of the enslaved Changeling race, he must face the terrible black dragon at his master's side, and experience his own life changed forever by Ineluki’s selfish promise.
