Publisher Description

Will dragons fight for a kingdom built on lies?

Novice dragon rider Cora and her dragon, Alaric, are desperate to rescue their families from the tyrannical King Onyx. But when their first infiltration fails and Cora is captured, everything changes. Her captors turn out to be antiroyalists—and allies. With their help, and guidance from a mysterious woman revealed to be the last surviving dragon rider, Cora’s hope is reignited.

But danger grows as whispers of a new dragon rider spread across the kingdom, painting a target on Cora’s back. She and Alaric must unlock the full power of their mystical bond before Onyx’s forces close in. Alone, they don’t stand a chance. Their only hope lies in uniting the dragons who once fled from mankind—dragons who may not be willing to return.

As war looms and even greater darkness stirs, Cora must decide who she can trust—and how far she’s willing to go to save those she loves.
