In the hallowed halls of Drakonis Academy, loyalty is currency and betrayal is blood-deep.

When Liora Vale is unexpectedly bonded to Pyrrhen—the last living Crownflame dragon—she becomes the center of a deadly power struggle between the Academy and the Consulate, a ruthless faction seeking to control dragonkind.

With enemies in every shadow and secrets buried in ancient contracts, Liora must decide whether to protect her dragon... or destroy the world that wants to own him. But trust is a luxury she can't afford—not with a bond that burns hotter than fire and a prophecy that demands blood.

Fans of Fourth Wing and serpentine, slow-burn dragon romances will be swept into a world of molten battles, intoxicating danger, and a love powerful enough to scorch kingdoms to ash.
