Shadow Sun (Dragon Star Saga #2)

Ren is a gryfess who has always understood the world differently than those around her. Once misfit and unsure of her own path and future, she has secured an honorable place in the pride of the Silver Isles, after helping to save the islands from poison in the water. Now the dragon Suijen has brought a catastrophic prophecy written in stone that seems to foretell the very end of the world ~ a prophecy the princess Embra has asked Ren and Suijen to keep secret from the rest of the gryfon pride.

Despite her misgivings and not wanting to lose her newfound status nor the trust of the princess, Ren keeps the secret. With dangerous starfalls striking the Isles, strange new enemies and fears arising in the pride, and the threat of wildfire in the dry forests, the vague and ancient prophecy seems to be the least of their worries . . . until each event begins to align with those written on the stone.

Now with incomprehensible powers at work, secrets to keep, and every life in the islands to protect, Ren must decide whether to do as she's told by the princess, or risk it all and do as she's told by her heart.
