“They say it started someplace in China, accidentally created by an elementary teacher who had once taught biology as a professor at some college. They think he may have been studying different fatal diseases during his own time. They got mixed up or something, and now no one knows how to stop it.” Alli Foxon is living in a dying world. A new sickness with no cure is spreading and nobody seems to know how to stop it. Millions have allready died, yet this is just the begining. On an untimely trip with her homeroom to the Massenuten Ski Slopes, Alli and her class are forsed to outwait a snowstorm in an empty cabin. The biggest wave of deaths is expected while the group of highschoolers are stranded, and Alli will have to learn what it means to stand up, push her problems aside and be a leader if any of them are going to survive.
Pelith, a lithe huntress, is facing the knowledge of the strong likelihood that her people might disown her for being falsely accused of a crime she had not committed. But then, her beloved horse, Culia, is murdered by a blood-thirsty dragon that has finally been set free from being held captive for four hundred and sixty-eight years by a spell that has recently been broken by the combining of two magic rocks. She then begins to slowly come upon the conclusion that someone has purposefully framed her. With the unlikely and unexpected help of Rasa, a poor, underfed farmer boy, she must make a dangerous journey in order to save her race from destruction and once again prove herself innocent and loyal to her people.
