When a celestial body forms, its soul manifests as a dragon, and seeks out the nearest inhabited planet to hunt upon. The moon dragon's power is cataclysmic on Earth, as she draws her strength from the gravitational force which creates the ocean's tides. Thousands of years ago, a violent king cursed a fragment of the moon; anyone who held it had the dragon's perfect obedience. The king used her as a weapon, destroying countless lives in his conquests. After the king's death, his heir decided such a weapon was inhumane for war, but too valuable to relinquish; The dragon was commanded to remain in her prison beneath the kingdom forever. Enraged, she began to kill any human who entered her cell. Rather than command her to stop, the royal family found her to be an efficient executioner, and an effective threat to dissenters. When Lyra is sent into the dragon's cell, fear conflicts with empathy, as both have suffered at the same hands.

Ainsley is a dragonblood princess, powerful but constantly restrained by her duties and her oppressive father, the king of Ellay. When a pirate crew makes a shaky truce with the king and asks for a guarantee of their safe travels around his country, he offers up Ainsley as an unwilling hostage and a show of good faith on his part. Ainsley suddenly finds herself powerless and trapped on a pirate ship, but the crew is nothing like what she expects, and neither is the lady captain, Gael, who defies every expectation and leaves Ainsley curious and unsure of where her loyalties lie. She tries her best to hate Gael and the pirates, but slowly, they're winning her over, and she must face the awful truth: to follow her heart will bring about catastrophic consequences, and she will need to be prepared to fight fire with fire.

In a world where your soulmate is determined by their favorite song, people have gone, and continue to go, to extreme lengths to find their other half. Lydia Harper has known her favorite song since she was twelve years old. She remembers the exact moment she decided - when she heard the way the gentle strumming of the guitar lead into the clever lyricism and experienced the way the song resonated with her. She loved how soft it was, like a cloud wrapping around her in a poetic spiral, and how she could feel so at ease even while the words hit so hard. The music flowed through her and lit her up in a way she didn't know was possible. But she doesn't want to rush fate. She just wants her cards to fall as they should. It's a lot harder than it should be when fate is out against her.
