Long ago, dragons were unleashed as weapons of war, igniting a conflict that shattered the Empire of Kaldra. Now, the survivors cower behind fortified walls while the beasts terrorize the wilds between broken kingdoms.

Arowyn Vale survives as an ashwalker—one of the few reckless enough to brave the burned-out roads between walled cities, smuggling everything from supplies to secrets. But when she saves a dying dragon hatchling, she draws the eye of the ruler of Mouren, a brutal realm at the heart of dragon territory.

Once, King Reave Callahan's people wielded powerful magic, bonding with dragons to crush their enemies. But that magic is fading, and law decrees that anyone who bonds with a dragon must serve the Mouren crown—even a gutter-born ashwalker from the slums of an enemy kingdom.

Dragged into Mouren's glittering but cutthroat court, Arowyn must navigate a treacherous new life built on secrets, ancient magic, and shifting alliances. As her bond with the hatchling deepens—and the king watches her with equal parts danger and desire—she will have to choose:

To become a weapon of the kingdom that broke her world…

Or to burn it all down from within.
