Time is running out. Qibli knows Darkstalker must be stopped. And he knows he could stop him--if he had magic. With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end the war forever, make every dragon happy, perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him . . . . But the prophecies are not easy to rewrite. Using only the small animus objects he's borrowed from Turtle, can Qibli be the magical force Pyrrhia needs, or will he be the one to bring Jade Mountain--and his family, his friends, the whole world--crashing down?
