Synopsis
In this fifth and final volume of the Memoirs of Lady Trent, Isabella, now married to the scholar Suhail, is attending a lecture on an ancient, long-dead language when the proceedings are disrupted by a Yelangese man named Thu, who claims to have discovered evidence of an entirely unprecedented dragon species living in the remote Mrtyahaima mountains. Thu presents himself as part of a rebel faction seeking an alliance with Isabella's home country against the current Yelangese government, a claim her colleagues regard with considerable suspicion. Despite the doubts surrounding Thu's motives, Isabella becomes determined to reach the mountains herself and investigate his claims, setting out on an expedition that unfolds against a backdrop of rising tension between the two nations over their competing aerial fleets.

Notes
- From the series record (The Memoirs of Lady Trent): A five-book sequence narrated as the memoirs of a fictional Victorian-analogue naturalist who studies dragons; a companion novel set generations later is treated as a separate spin-off, not part of this Core Canon sequence.
