Fifteen-year-old Aria is about to start her second year of magical training at the Royal League of Dreamslingers. She and her bloom dragon, Rio, must pass the final exam to become fully fledged Fellows. Before training can begin, though, the king of Royal Hanguk gives Aria and the other novices a mission. They are to help the League reclaim the Touch of Death, a powerful ancient relic stolen from the kingdom — and by Aria’s mother, no less.

But then Aria experiences a devastating loss and her dream of becoming a royalslinger evaporates. What now? One option is to join the freeslingers, a rogue faction, but Aria isn’t so sure about their methods. How far is she prepared to go to regain what she’s lost?

And will her decisions result in the end of the League?
