In a kingdom that has fallen into chaos, one young woman—and her dragon—are thrust into the role of bringing balance to the land. From the moment Dayie washed ashore as an infant, everyone in her tiny village treated her as… different. She didn’t belong, no matter how hard she tried. So when a vicious, invasive plant called Deadweed overruns her village, she’s blamed and sold to the Dragon Traders for fear of her powers and the mystery surrounding her origin.

There, she may have the chance to avenge her parents’ deaths and solve the mystery of ever-spreading Deadweed. Dayie’s destiny awaits, if she’s brave enough to follow it… This novel contains violence

War looms for the dragons. One girl must find the answers. Alita accomplished what she set out to do: save Yackros, free the dragon king, stop the pearl from being tainted.

Yackros may be free, but Alita isn’t. Although Séraphin was thwarted once, he is quickly regrouping, and his intention is clear. He will rule all dragons, no matter the cost.
