The War of the Masters

For generations Candore has determined its next heir to the throne with an all-out war between the current ruler's children.

Aided by her faithful dragon, Terra and Cyrus must find a way to escape the King's wrath--and survive the brutal war against her cutthroat siblings and the dangerous creatures they have wrested under their control . . .
