A secret, wrapped in a mystery, hidden in a ring.

There is no greater loneliness than self-doubt. Olena has been Queen of the Eastern Sky for almost a year. She is surrounded by friends, queens and servants. But her sister, Zandria, is off on another adventure without her. And worse, what little magic Olena knew has stopped working.

Olena feels alone and helpless.

Then she discovers a forgotten gift from the Prismata - a bronze ring.

When she slips the ring on her finger, Olena opens the door to an ancient mystery that leads her to the far south of Empyrean. She starts off on her own adventure that reveals a new threat to their troubled land. A dinosaur-like race is preparing for war from beyond the southern border.

Can a young girl with no magic save Empyrean?

Or is it too late for Olena to solve the Mystery of the Secret Queen?
