Elowen Atarah was a princess with dragons, until her father ripped them away and locked her in a gilded cage. Now she rules in exile, leading a secret kingdom and plotting vengeance. Her chance comes with an unlikely ally: Cayden Veles, the most feared commander in all Ravaryn. He promises to help her infiltrate the impenetrable castle of Imirath and reclaim her dragons if she will stand with him in the coming war. Their alliance is fragile, their attraction dangerous, and the stakes higher than either dares admit. With war looming and enemies everywhere, one wrong move could cost Elowen her freedom, her people, and the creatures she loves. Her vengeance is a promise signed in blood, and she intends to keep it.
