Empire
Guess who just woke up.
Ynarra—weakened, exhausted, and accompanied by Arson and her Horde—embarks on an epic quest through the Cursewoods and the Scarlet Mountains in a dangerous search for the fabled Apex Dragon.
As they close in on their goal, they find themselves pursued by a band of enchanted, supernatural hunters, who are determined to finish them before they can finish their mission.
An old empire has fallen. A new empire is ready to rise. Even if the bonds broken five-hundred-years ago can be restored, no one is prepared for the power about to be unleashed.
The very thing Ynarra and her friends are searching for has a small chance of saving their lives and a big chance of destroying their entire world.
It’s a no-win scenario.
And Ynarra has no intention of losing.

I've been a fan of K.A. Riley since reading her Thrall series and was excited to jump into the Dragontown books!
This was a nice finish to the Dragontown books! This one defiantly set up for another series in this universe. The ending makes me excited to see what comes next.

This one left a lot of unanswered questions at the end of the book. It was still a good read, and it leaves room for another book?

honestly, I was over the whole book before I started. it's a cool concept but the fact that we're constantly revisiting how everyone is chained down some way was exhausting.
