The Stone Kin
To the rest of the realm, the dragons of the Petrified Court are statues. Kael knows better.
His kin broke the realm's oldest laws, and Veyrun's judgment has held them in stone ever since. The sentence is not permanent, but neither forgiveness nor pleading will lift it. Their debt must be repaid in full.
Kael has spent centuries refusing to accept that their story ends there.
His search takes him toward the four corners of the realm, following the only path that might restore those he has never abandoned. Along the way, he finds unexpected company in Sera, an unassuming traveler content to share the road without asking for more than Kael is willing to give.
But old judgments are not easily undone, and Veyrun has no interest in whether Kael believes his cause is just.
To bring his kin back, Kael will have to answer a debt centuries in the making, whatever its repayment demands of him.
