Dirigió la mirada a su padre, al otro lado de la habitación. Un rayo de sol brillaba sobre él. Tenía los ojos cerrados y colgaba de la pared con cadenas oscuras y ásperas. Sangre cubría sus sienes, manos y hombros. Gritó cuando comenzó a caminar hacia él. Una sombra oscura se separó de la pared a la izquierda de su padre. Ella patinó hasta detenerse y sintió que Lobo hacía lo mismo a su lado. Respiró pesadamente cuando la sombra cobró vida. Obsidian. Cinco sombras más se desprendieron de la pared. Tenían capas oscuras que cubrían sus rostros para que no pudiera ver su aspecto. Los cinco salieron de las sombras y luego se detuvieron, pero Obsidian siguió avanzando. Sus ojos brillaron de un azul mortal, venenoso. El corazón de ella se convirtió en hielo cuando el fuego de dragón dentro suyo se apagó. Tras apenas haber escapado con vida de las Llanuras de Fuego, Auri hace caso a las súplicas del Rey Dragón y se lanza en busca de la seguridad y el conocimiento de los legendarios Dragones Maestros.

Pero antes de que su viaje realmente haya comenzado, le arrebatan a un ser querido. Aturdida por la pérdida, y con Terradin cada vez más oscuro a su alrededor, se ve obligada a tomar una decisión terrible que tendrá repercusiones duraderas. ¿Se aferrará a lo que alguna vez fue? ¿O regurgirá como el legendario fénix y se levantará de las cenizas para arder más que nunca?
