The world will drown beneath the waves...only the last mage can stop it. Vahly, the last mage, is the world’s biggest disappointment. Raised by the dragons, she was born to become the magical Earth Queen, the only one who can stop the Sea Queen’s mad plan to drown everything in existence.

Vahly can’t let the dragons she calls family die under the Sea Queen’s magic.

I'm an ex-stripper. A girl from a trailer park. And I married for money. Yes, I'm a gold digger, but I have my reasons. I came to Liars Island with one goal in mind, and I'm going to achieve it...or die trying.... People think they know what I'm about because of my checkered past, but I did what I had to in order to survive. And the sad truth is, I've been denied my birthright for 23 long years. Now, I'm married to a hotshot who deals in diamonds, surrounded by people who think they are smarter than me. But I'm over being undervalued.

In the search of the Sacred Oak where Vahly’s magic will rise in full, she and her cohorts — dragons, elves, and of course, her gryphon familiar — must fly over an expanse of sea that was once the Red Meadow. They cannot stop. There is no refuge in the spelled saltwater and the sea folk lurk just below its foam-tipped waves. Vahly must hurry. Once the Sea Queen renews her magic at the Blackwater well in Tidehame, she will strike again and end the land and its creatures for good. There will be no second chances.

On the night of Vahly’s favorite holiday, Frostlight, her grown daughter’s scream rips through the peaceful snowfall and heralds a new era in Sugarrabota. Something has crawled out of the sea. It’s not the enemy they faced nearly a century ago. This time it’s different. But before Vahly, Arc, and Nix can untangle this development, another challenge rears its head. The dragons lose their ability to shift.

Tugging at her heart, Vahly’s magic begs her to discover her birthplace in the flooded Lost Valley. What she is meant to do there, she has no idea.

But while her magic urges her to the Lost Valley, the Sea Queen's high general holds Vahly in a dungeon of spelled salt water.

But she has no idea why. If she doesn't untangle and master her newfound earth magic before a band of nihilistic, rogue dragons find her, the world will end in a crashing wave, all land life undone by the Sea Queen.
