Ty might need to get his brother involved. Given everything that he had done so far, and how much he had been connected to all of this, he thought that Albion needed to be brought in. Bingham, too.
He needed answers, and he needed to understand Bingham and what he had learned about his mother, and he also needed to know whether there was anything more that he could do.
Ty stared into the distance, feeling the energy of the Lothinal magic and how it pressed against what the dragon from Ishantil had done. The way that the dragon had solidified everything, forcing it back.
That had stopped the spread, though for how long?
He turned and stared at the lava lake. Every so often, there was a movement within it, as if some part of it flowed, and he could almost imagine that he saw the spread of a dragon’s wings and the hint of a face looking up at him, some hint of power that was coming up from someplace deep within the lava lake, as if the dragon itself were attempting to look upon him.
Dorian was still talking, and Ty turned to him.
They were discussing how to defeat Lothinal. Maybe there would be a way, but he didn’t know what that would involve. The Tecal dragons. Which meant he had to understand the connection he had to the smoke dragon.
And maybe more.
He looked down into the distance, following the direction of their gazes, and didn’t see anything more than he already had. Still, he could feel that energy and was aware of that power. There was something to it, something more than he had known before, and it was strange.
Stranger still was how that energy felt deep within him.
Even though Gayal didn’t think anyone should connect to the dragon of Ishantil, Ty began to wonder if he already had.

Ty stopped the danger to the kingdom but a new danger emerges.
While trying to understand his Tecal connection to the smoke dragon, Ty knows Lothinal have not abandoned their plans. Roson James has been stopped but not defeated, and now the Dragon Touched are compromised.
The key to protecting the kingdom is mastering his dragon connections, but the smoke dragon remains elusive and Ishantil is simply too powerful.
Finding understanding means chasing the Flame—and the possibility that he might be more than a Tecal. Ty must succeed or Lothinal will destroy not only the kingdom, but the power of the Flame itself.
