About the book
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.

He was promised a monster like himself. He got a beauty instead.
Raised in captivity, Rolan—the Beast—has finally earned his freedom. As part of the Empress’s twisted reward, he’s gifted a bride: a woman said to be as reviled as he is. Ugly. Unlovable. An outcast. But when he meets Abauna, he finds not a beast, but a breathtaking beauty—and realizes the Empress has dealt them both a cruel hand.
Abauna has been shamed, silenced, and exiled for being different. Now she's bound to a warrior feared across the realm. But Rolan is not what she expected. Gentle. Loyal. Wounded. And maybe, just maybe, everything her heart never dared to want.
Together, they’ll defy their pasts, their pain, and the Empress who tried to break them.
A tender, steamy, fantasy romance where love heals what cruelty tried to destroy.

About the book
New York Times Bestseller
“Nola is the most accomplished kicker of ass since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” —A. J. Finn
Zig and Nola are back—in the hugely entertaining, highly anticipated follow-up to Brad Meltzer’s #1 New York Times bestselling thriller The Escape Artist.
What’s the one secret no one knows about you?
Archie Mint has a secret. He’s led a charmed life—he’s got a beautiful wife, two impressive kids, and a successful military career. But when he’s killed while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family is shattered—and then shocked when the other shoe drops. Mint’s been hiding criminal secrets none of them could have imagined.
While working on Mint’s body before his funeral, mortician “Zig” Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling detail leads him to Mint’s former top secret military unit and his connection to artist Nola Brown. Two years ago, Nola saved Zig’s life—so he knows better than most that she’s as volatile and dangerous as a bolt of lightning.
Following Nola’s trail, he uncovers one of the U.S. government’s most intensely guarded secrets—an undisclosed military facility that dates back to the Cold War and holds the key to something far more sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself.
Trouble always finds her…
She’s the lightning rod.
