Volume 9

After the battle with the Minotaur, the Knights of Clawdiff face a different kind of crisis: thousands of refugees with nowhere left to go. Their answer is Hiraeth, a new settlement built from the ruins and hope of those who survived. But peace proves harder to build than walls. As Celeste and Silver struggle with clashing dragon instincts neither fully understands, the tension between them begins to threaten more than their partnership. And beyond the city, the Luminarch Doctrine is closing in, preparing a holy march to claim the ancient relic hidden within Celeste’s chest. With Hiraeth still fragile and war gathering on the horizon, the Knights must protect their new home before faith, instinct, and old powers tear it apart.
