Under a fatal sickness stemming from a sorcerer's curse, the female dragons are in terrible trouble. The survival of the dragons is vital as we draw nearer to the Endtimes, when they will be called upon to help remake the earth with fire. As the Protector of Dragons, the task to help them falls to Quinlyn Brinker. Coming back in time to help her is none other than Quin's future counterpart, Ashton Ingram, who is a Sapphire Boy gifted not only with shield capabilities, but also with the ability to cry sapphires that either heal or shield. The team also includes a shapeshifter, a magician, and a person with super hearing. On their path to fixing the problem, Quin and her friends seek help from a conjure woman and solve a mystery involving five graveyards, all the while battling a powerful band of miscreants that includes a person with control over fire, a Stone Hunter intent on capturing the Sapphire Boy, and the sorcerer who caused the problem in the first place.
