Her name was Tiree Shardfast, Princess of Zephyre, heir to the Heartglow, the special magic which allowed her to speak to drakons. When Tiree set sail with her father King Leopold Shardfast to the Shattered Lands far across the Unknown Ocean, she had no idea of the adventure that awaited her and her best friend Halflorn. Forced by the hand of the Obsidian Emperor to escape through the shards of the Ensemble, she was about to encounter the vastness of the many worlds, and meet people far stranger and more wonderful than she could ever have imagined.
