Eramine felt uneasy ever since she started having dreams of a winged creature calling out her name. Now a pair of the dream creatures has arrived while she is awake, declaring themselves Onizards and insisting that Eramine has to go with them or their de facto princess will die. The creatures have been terrifying every coastal village as they ask for Eramine by name; with her village as the next to be visited if the Onizards don't find her, how could Eramine not go with them?Yet now her brother Marinel thinks she is in mortal danger, and he is putting all of his resources as well as his relationship with his newly wedded wife True on the line as he sails after her. He may have even harvested a poison capable of killing the Onizards.Meanwhile, Eramine's newfound Onizard friends, Rulraeno and Senquena, are both acting as if they have some dark and shameful secret they are hiding instead of mutual feelings for one another. On top of that, Eramine's odd dreams are getting more frequent and are starting to have real-world consequences as she gets closer to the land of the Onizards.It is a lot for any fourteen year old to handle, but Eramine is determined to make things right. She knows there is going to be a deadly confrontation if she can't figure out a way to reconcile the two species and help them get over their mutual dark past.
