After twelve years of peace, trouble has returned to Andvell…Seventeen-year-old Naya Reed has seen what’s coming. Born with a dragon bond she doesn’t understand, she has been plagued by visions of a withering countryside and of dragons falling from the sky.She longs to help her family bring an end to the unknown force attacking the Veil, the barrier between worlds and the source of all magic, but every vision leaves her weaker, and she fears what will happen if she stretches too far. But when Naya wakes up on a mountaintop, the course of her future changes. Not only does she discover the truth behind her dragon bond, but she also meets a young man—with golden eyes and a dragon bond of his own—who can help her master it.Thrown into a battle she isn’t ready to fight, Naya must risk her mind, her body, and her heart to gain control over her bond before the Veil tears, the dragons fall, and more than one world is torn asunder.

Far from her home and her family, Naya Reed seeks out the legendary dragon messengers to secure her bond with the dragon Dunyari. Once she arrives, however, no warm welcome awaits her. Instead, Naya finds herself having to convince the village elders that she's worthy of staying—a challenge made difficult because of the complex state of her dragonbond and her even more complex feelings for Pertali-born Felix Tamley. While her days are full of intense training, Naya's nights are haunted by dreams of the woman who nearly tore the world apart. But any hope Naya has that she'll soon be ready to face Sera vanishes as new threats arrive that put her future—and her life—in jeopardy. Beaten down by heartbreak, rejection, and the growing distance between herself and Dunyari, Naya must summon her courage and stand her ground to prevent all she's gained from being consumed by dragonfire.

Naya Reed has come a long way from being on her deathbed. With her dragonbond fully integrated and her connection to Dunyari growing deeper by the day, her future should look bright. But trouble looms in every direction. Sera, the dragon girl who once tried to destroy the Veil, is back, and this time she's determined to destroy the world to keep her dragon family safe. To stop her, Naya will have to use every ounce of her training as the next leader of House Feldall—a role she isn't sure she wants anymore after tasting the life of a dragon messenger, including the love of a handsome Nayis man. As Naya faces down one threat after another, she watches her life transform in ways she couldn't imagine. But as the country burns and her future looms, how much will she lose as she struggles to find her place? Cairnfire is the long-awaited finale of the Nayis Trilogy. Return to Andvell in this epic fantasy adventure that embraces found family, hope in the darkness, and the struggle of following one's own path.
