Trysten grew up with the roar of dragons in her ears and a fierce bond with the creatures who guard her village. But when her father, the village’s respected dragoneer, is injured, he must name a successor—and tradition bars Trysten from the title she was born for.

Putting her ambitions aside, Trysten commits to helping her friend bond with the mighty alpha dragon. But the alpha, defying tradition herself, has her own plans for Trysten and the future of the village.
Will Trysten’s loyalty save them all—or cost her everything?
