I've spent my life in the shadow of my father's neglect, a princess in a Kingdom where women have no power. When my father arranges my marriage to a cruel and elderly king, I make my choice—escape. Disguised as a boy, I join the elite dragon riders who protect the Kingdoms of Light. But women can't ride dragons. It's impossible. Forbidden. Blasphemous and vulgar to even think of a woman mounting the saddle knob of a dragon. At the rider camp, Casteel, the mysterious and handsome dragon master, sees through my disguise. My experienced commander awakens sensations I never knew existed, but forbids me from riding the beasts he commands, convinced I will die. My rival at camp, Prince Tynan, is the arrogant grandson of the very man I was meant to marry. He doesn't recognize me in disguise, and our inexplicable attraction confuses us both. I hate him, the thinks I'm a boy. But beneath his cruelty, I glimpse wounds that mirror my own. Then there's Zogar the Behemoth—the largest, most feared dragon of them all. He’s never accepted a rider upon his saddle… Not until now. When I claim my dragon, what I discover changes everything. The line between human and dragon blurs, and destiny awaits. As demons break through the veil that protects the Kingdoms of Light, my forbidden bond with the Behemoth takes me beyond its protection to discover the truth. When I uncover ancient wrongs, I must choose between duty and desire, between the Light I've always known and the Darkness I'm forbidden to embrace. First in a romantasy trilogy where a princess discovers her true power in a world of secrets, dragons, and forbidden love.
