Some doors should never be opened. Some prisoners should never be freed.
In the hidden borough of Little Avalon, Merritt Vale has learned that family isn't always blood. Sometimes it's the silver-furred echinemon who saved your life, the magical children you're raising, and the community of creatures who've become your world.
When an impossible rescue leads to an ancient awakening, everything begins to unravel.
The echinemons harbor a secret someone will kill to possess. Their sanctuary becomes a battleground between old kings and new queens. In the shadows, something watches, waits, and whispers promises of power to those desperate enough to listen.
Night by night, the attacks grow closer. Each incident more brazen than the last, as if something is testing the boundaries of Merritt's protection.
The echinemons speak of a weapon forged in darkness, a blade that once brought down the mother of all dragons. Now someone seeks to forge it again, and they'll need echinemon magic to do it.
In a world where shapeshifters walk among them and portal magic can breach any defense, how can Merritt protect those she loves when she can't even trust her own eyes?
Can she stop an ancient evil from claiming its prize? Or will the very act of protecting her family be what destroys them all?
