In Elondria, anyone can rise to power—if they have the strength to build a kingdom and the will to claim a dragon. Skálda Branwright has both. But no dragon egg has ever hatched for her.
Until the impossible happens. A hatchling falls into her hands, desperate for rescue, and Skálda faces a choice: surrender it and obey the law, or steal it and become the most dangerous rogue rider in history.
But this is no ordinary dragon. Claiming it means defying the elves who rule Elondria, dismantling the war machine that creates riders, and forging a destiny built on blood and dragonfire.
She was never meant to rule. But the realms will burn before she bows.
