For over a year, Brezlin has waited for the mysterious Veil to fall and release the Sumaset. This unsuspecting clan had been trapped within the confines of a portal-type Veil forged by the powerful dragon known as Amerrest and transported 400 years into the future. Though this was their best hope for survival, Ammerest could not stop the inevitable. Armed with the knowledge of a civil war that has yet to happen, Brezlin, a young inexperienced leader, and his small clan of Ol'Sackay warriors are tasked with the training of these new Borrion-I to fight.

A lifetime has passed since Brezlin and his people were forced through the portals set by Aslean in the great exodus from Versa. Now given the chance to be that much closer to home than when and where they are now, Brezlin's remnant of the Ol'sackay clan has accepted the offer made by the great dragon, Amerrest. They eagerly pass through another portal, appearing 400 years into the future, setting foot on a new yet familiar land. Struggling to survive, the small band eventually discovers a mysterious, shimmering veil.

As chieftain of the Ol'sackay, Khellin's main priority is the health and safety of his clan, but right now, both are being threatened. Astride his Winddoger, Khellin watches helplessly while hundreds of his warriors lay dying all around him in this bitter fight for their lives. Desperate, Khellin turns to the only being left that can possibly help his people—Aslean. Hers are the gifts of Castalar, and she, at this point, is their only hope.
