Aesira of Caverre has never had the luxury of choice. Raised on obedience and bloodshed, she learned early that beauty could be sharpened into a weapon and love turned into leverage. Dragons were her purpose. Killing them was her legacy. Questioning it was never an option.
Until everything is taken from her in a single night.
Captured by the enemy kingdom and forced to live among those sworn to protect the creatures she hunted, Aesira is stripped of her armor, her certainty, and the lie that cruelty is strength. Grief festers. Anger simmers. And unwanted connections begin to form-with people she should hate, with dragons that refuse to fear her, and with parts of herself she was never allowed to know.
Caught between loyalty and survival, desire and defiance, Aesira must decide who she is without the blade in her hand-because some transformations hurt more than any wound, and some loves ruin you before they save you.
