Karadur was born to inherit the dragon throne of Ippa, but his twin brother Tenjiro carries no dragon blood. When jealousy drives Tenjiro to steal the talisman that would let Karadur transform into his true dragon form, he flees to the frozen north. Years pass. Tenjiro returns as Ankoku, a powerful sorcerer commanding ice magic from his fortress stronghold. His frozen realm spreads outward, threatening to destroy Dragon Keep itself. Karadur must gather his shape-shifting warriors and march north to face his brother. The journey will test everything he knows about leadership and family. To save his kingdom, Karadur must confront the twin who betrayed him and recover the talisman that holds his dragon destiny. Elizabeth A.
