Both are thrown together in a desperate attempt to save the ones they love. Angela has spent her whole life training to fight in a war she's never seen. She's been built into a weapon until one day the tables turn and she finds herself fleeing for her life from the only man she's ever trusted. Injured and on the cusp of death, she's saved by Daryn, the first Wood Lord to be born in over a thousand years. In a race to save the ones they love, these two must learn to master the magic their ancestors were born with before it's too late. Join Daryn and Angela as they are forced from their homeland and caught up in the middle of an age-old struggle between the people of the plains, the elemental races, dragons, and the king that rules them all. 310
