      About This Book

      It is time to cut right to the heart of the Dark.

      The land of Tirror lies enthralled by the Dark. Only a dragonbard and dragons can free the people, for only the union of human spirit and dragon magic can restore the memory of freedom. But no one believes that dragons still exist. There are bards, yes; but without dragons, their powers are useless.

      Yet Tebriel, a young bard, had found his dragon--and three more. One bard and four dragons alone cannot free a whole continent, but they know that somewhere in the land of Dacia the bright magic of dragonbards, the Ivory Lyre, lies hidden. They must release its powers, and to do that, they must transforms themselves, risk discovery, and penetrate into the deepest and most dangerous realm of the Dark itself.
