Overview

As the clumsiest bondless apprentice in the Academy’s history, Aeris Velmara is perfect for a suicide mission.

Breaking the legendary assassin Drakena of Virelmar out of a maximum-security prison, and convincing her to venture into the Cursed Northern Mountains, should be impossible. But for someone shunned by magical creatures since childhood, the impossible is just another day of humiliation.

What Aeris didn’t expect was the bond.

Or the visions of extinct dragons.

Or to fall in love with the most dangerous woman on the continent.

Because Drakena keeps secrets the Steel Council would kill to silence forever, and in the mountains something awaits that should not exist.

Something the entire world is willing to kill them for.

Now Aeris must protect the comfortable lie she’s always been told or risk everything for a truth that could set the world ablaze.

Because when the last dragon wakes, even love may not be enough to stop what’s coming.
