Game of Thrones meets Fourth Wing in a debut young adult fantasy that's full of rivalry, romance... and dragons.

When the revolution came, everything changed. The old rulers were overthrown and the city's traditions were shattered. Annie and Lee grew up in the aftermath, their lives shaped by the chaos. Brought together in the same orphanage and despite their differences, they became each other's closest ally. But years of training have turned their friendship into rivalry as they now compete to lead the city's legendary dragonriders.

Just as they're finding their footing, a new threat arises—survivors of the old regime are back, determined to take revenge. As dragons soar into battle and the city's future hangs in the balance, Annie and Lee must decide what truly matters—the bonds of family, the loyalty of friendship, or the destiny they've been fighting for all along.

An action-packed adventure of courage, betrayal, and the choices that shape us, this is a story about discovering where you belong—and who you are willing to fight for.
