Years after the curse was broken, Mari discovers that the hardest dragons to tame aren’t full-grown princes—they’re half-grown teenagers with wings, fangs, and feelings.
When a frightened neighboring city brands the fledgling flyers “monsters,” Mari must decide whether to keep her new family hidden or fight for a world that will accept them—before the teens’ own rage ignites a second war.
When twenty-year-old Nuri—the first true draken—lets her fury be seen from the mainland, the fragile refuge her patched-together family has built on Lyoness is shattered, forcing her to choose whether to stay hidden, run alone, or start a war that could wipe out both drakens and humans.
