Fleeing for their lives, Hayden and the newly inducted dragon riders quickly try to escape the grasp of the Metallic Nation. The very ones they called friends and fought beside are now their enemies. They find themselves at the mercy of the elves, and things don't go as planned as they learn just how far the Metallic Nation's reach truly is. War seems imminent as blood begins to spill and old enemies are forced to fight together as friends or fall alone. In this heart-pounding sequel to The Broken Scale, The Clash of Land and Sea is the second book in The Dragon Riders of Arvain series.
