Before Valdemar, before the Heralds, there were gryphons. And one of them is about to risk everything.
Skandranon Rashkae—ebony-feathered, arrogant, brilliant—is the pinnacle of Urtho’s magical creations. A living weapon with a sharp wit and sharper talons, Skan lives to defend the realm from the power-hungry mage Maar.
Now Maar’s army is on the move, led by monstrous magical creatures bred for destruction. When a Seer envisions an unimaginable weapon falling into the wrong hands, Skan is tasked with a deadly mission: infiltrate enemy lines and uncover the truth.
With war looming and magic spiraling out of control, the future of Urtho’s realm rests on a gryphon’s wings.
Because even before kingdoms rise, heroes are forged in fire, feathers, and fate.
