Shard is a gryfon in exile from the pride of the Silver Isles. After 
learning of the injustices wrought by the Red King he once served 
loyally, Shard now seeks to fulfill the promise of the legendary Summer 
King, who is destined to bring peace and balance when he appears.

Shard's quest will take him across the sea to the homeland of the 
gryfons who conquered the Silver Isles, into a web of new allies and new
 enemies, winged and wingless alike. There he will learn of the fierce 
enmity that drove the Red King and his pride from their homeland, and 
the deadly grudge stretching back two generations that, if left 
unfinished, could destroy them all.

Shard is a gryfon in danger. He and other young males of the Silver 
Isles are old enough to fly, hunt, and fight--old enough to be threats 
to their ruler, the red gryfon king. In the midst of the dangerous 
initiation hunt, Shard takes the unexpected advice of a strange she-wolf
 who seeks him out, and hints that Shard's past isn't all that it seems.
 To learn his past, Shard must abandon the future he wants and make 
allies of those the gryfons call enemies. When the gryfon king declares 
open war on the wolves, it throws Shard's past and uncertain future into
 the turmoil between. Now with battle lines drawn, Shard must decide 
whether to fight beside his king . . .or against him.
