On the continent Aelyndor, transformation is forbidden—to shift into dragon form is treason.
Crown Princess of the Draknae, Nesrin Vaelen, has never felt whole. Her people are dying, bound by a cruel ban and merciless poison that steals their wings, steals their strength, steals their pride.
Taven Drayth, fourteen-year-old human assassin and top draknae hunter, lives for vengeance. The Draknae who murdered her father brought war to her doorstep and she has never forgotten the flames.
When Nesrin’s mother falls in the name of peace, Nesrin is thrust onto the throne. When Taven is ordered to crush the new Draknae empress, she is captured and taken to the abode of her enemies.
But as war burns hotter, secrets blaze to the not all dragons are monsters. Not all humans are innocent. And peace may only be possible if these enemies learn to trust the one person they were raised to hate.
Caught between loyalty and truth. Torn between vengeance and justice.
The fate of a kingdom hangs in the balance and the choice of two enemies could shatter everything… or save it.
At just 14, Piper Jane Cops is already making her mark as a young storyteller with a big imagination. Homeschooled and happiest with a book in one hand and a notebook in the other, she spends her days crafting stories that whisk readers away to magical worlds through action packed pages. When she’s not writing, she’s reading anything she can get her hands on—or sharing her latest tales with her two biggest fans: her adoring little sisters who are always begging for more.
This book, was incredibly entertaining!!! It’s one that will keep you up at night! The author did an amazing job, with vivid descriptions, subtle hints to events explained later on, and my favorite, making each character have an important, and different personality! Definitely going to be a reread!!!
This book was such a fun read! Piper crafted such a beautiful story that kept me captivated and intrigued throughout the entire book. From the spiritual parallels, and depth to the emotions she portrayed, it is clear she has a gift. Excited for future books from Piper!
