Fortune finds those who leap . . .
A gifted art forger, Truyan Saigas has the unique ability to paint the future. But when her father is lost at sea, not even magic can heal her family, or save her two younger sisters from the consequences of her mother's gambling debts.
Then Elang, a mysterious dragon lord, offers her a deal: in exchange for a fresh start for her family, Tru must enter a marriage contract and join him in his desolate undersea palace. But once there, Tru finds herself drawn to Elang, especially as she begins to unravel the secrets behind his curse.
To keep up her end of the deal, Tru must embark on her most dangerous forgery yet. To infiltrate the tyrannical Dragon King's inner circle and paint a future so treasonous, it could upend both the mortal and immortal realms.
