Prologue — 0.3 Seconds

In a collapsing volcanic cathedral, the Auric Circle faces a raging fire dragon. For healer Soren Lysander Vale, three-tenths of a second can mean the difference between saving a teammate and losing them forever. But surviving the battle is only the beginning. When the fighting ends, Soren discovers how little his sacrifices are worth to the people he keeps alive—and makes a decision that will change his future.
