Jack Morgan never asked for a symbiotic dragon warrior as a tattoo—or a bodyguard—but now that Draycos has saved his life, Jack’s along for the ride. The dragonlike K’da is on a mission: uncover who wiped out his people’s refugee fleet, and stop them before they strike again.
To get answers, Jack joins a mercenary unit that recruits teens like him for dangerous missions. But boot camp is brutal, the rules are deadly, and not all the new recruits are who they claim to be. As Jack digs deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens not only Draycos’s people—but maybe the entire galaxy.
From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn, this action-packed second installment in the Dragonback saga crackles with danger, loyalty, and heart.
