The truth of the Code Keeper has been uncovered. But her story was only the first thread in a tapestry of lies that stretches back to the dawn of time. Kaelen's quest to balance the Dragon Heart leads him to a deeper, more dangerous truth: the Umbra King's first and greatest victory was not over the dragons, but over the primordial mothers of creation herself. He recast the Dragon Queens: the original weavers of reality, as monsters to be feared, silencing the feminine half of all magic. Now, Kaelen and Elara must descend into the world's collective nightmare, the 'Well of Stories', to shatter these ancient prisons of fear and slander. They will confront the twisted lies that bind: Tiamat, the Mother of All, branded a mindless beast of chaos. Isis, the Magician of Resurrection, diminished to a scheming witch. Medusa, the Fierce Protector, cursed as a vain monster. To free them, Kaelen cannot use the dragon's fire. He must learn a new kind of magic, forged from compassion, truth, and the courage to face the world's oldest wounds. The balance of the Eternal Flame depends on it. But freeing such powerful, ancient rage might unleash a power that could either save their world, or shatter it. The battle for the past is the key to the future. The lies are about to be broken.
