Emerald Prescott thought that her life was just normal. Not until her 18th birthday when a group of scary men took her parents and tried to kill her. Good thing someone 'saved' her by taking her to a world of royals. Literally. But that's where everything unfolds. Not only she has to cope with the fact that there's a place where magic exists, but she also has to accept that she's, well, a Princess and the next Queen. Now, having suitors from royal families and people trying to take her throne, can she handle the royalty and the betrayals ahead?

Long ago stood the kingdom of Requiem, a land of men who could grow wings and scales, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. Requiem ruled the sky. But Dies Irae, a tyrant leading an army of griffins, hunted Requiem's people, burned their forests, and shattered their temples. Requiem fell. This ancient land now lies in ruin, its halls crumbled, its cries silenced, its skeletons littering the burned earth. In the wilderness, a scattering of survivors lives in hiding. The griffins still hunt them, and every day promises death. Will Requiem's last children perish in exile... or once more become dragons and fly to war?
