Where there's smoke, there's a dragon.
After twenty-four years surviving the brutal White Wastes, Damndrake has stopped searching for her parents. She has Blaze now—her fierce adopted sister—and trying to build a stable life in human-dragon society is challenging enough.
When Damndrake loses a coveted Drakengard job and is banished from yet another city, finding a home seems impossible, until she’s unexpectedly recruited to the Draghi Firegard in the city of Qar. Things finally fall into place—new purpose, new home, maybe even the spark of something more—until Smoke returns. The same dragon who tried to steal Blaze a decade ago is back, and this time, he’s not leaving empty-clawed.
To protect Blaze, Damndrake must confront not only Smoke, but the darker parts of herself she's tried to hide. Because if she doesn’t, Blaze won’t survive.
