The prophecy was written in ash and blood on the day the first dragon fell. For three hundred years, the Flameheart dynasty ruled Pyraethus with fire stolen from dragons — until the curse began to consume them from within. Now, the empire burns from the inside out, and its unbonded king, Vortigern Scalebane, stands at the edge of ruin.
In a world where dragons remember every betrayal, Vortigern's only hope lies in Ondine — the rebel who would see his throne destroyed. Bound by a dangerous magic neither understands, their bond ignites a power that could end the curse or reduce the realm to ash.
