Magic. Dragons. Romance. The fantasy sensation that has taken the world by storm — and shows no signs of stopping.

Raeve's job is to complete orders and never get caught. Until a rival assassin devastates her world and she is captured by a group of powerful fae. Now she's locked in the capital's high-security prison — and she has no intention of staying.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, dragon rider Kaan Vaegor hunts the world for answers. Then a clue lures him to the very prison where Raeve is held. Together, they seek truths that threaten to shatter everything they knew about their world — and each other. And together, they'll burn it all down.
