In a world where magic is intrinsic to the fabric of
everyday life, two kingdoms, centuries-long enemies, have
long sought a powerful magical weapon that will win them
lasting dominance. But neither realm is ready when they are
both attacked by the Bottom-Dwellers, a bitter people whose
own land was destroyed, and who now live only to take
vengeance on those they blame for a wretched life in the
storm-tossed abyss they inhabit. Using contramagic
strengthened by blood sacrifice to attack the world above,
they threaten to bring down whole cities, or even the island
kingdoms themselves. Freya and Rosia are forced to put aside
their age-old conflict to defend themselves, or risk losing
everything.
As the Bottom-Dwellers’ contramagic eats away at the magic
of the dragons that helps protect the world above, a former
dragon-riding hero gathers a ragtag group to form a new
dragon brigade, the one desperate hope of the two kingdoms
to defeat the fiends who threaten their world. As the
effects of contramagic bring the world ever closer to
disaster, the new dragon brigade fight the vengeful
adversary. Their high-flying heroics will be to no avail,
though, unless they can somehow uncover forbidden knowledge,
long hidden by the Church, without which they will never be
able to prevent the world's destruction.
Margaret Weis and Robert Krammes deliver yet another
exciting dragon brigade adventure in Storm Riders.
