"Smoldering ashes spiral from above, anxious to land upon crimson stained concrete. Children scream as much as that of their lungs ability. Family mourn the loss of loved ones, weeping over their dead, lifeless bodies. The once beautiful, mesmerizing city of Cyfron, Unit 3, is in ruins."

~~~~

Maia is a nomad after her city, Cyfron, is destroyed. With nowhere and no one to run to she uses her instincts to escape the carnage caused by the King. In an isolated land, surrounded by storms, Maia has to figure out how to save her people from the corruption of a man set out to keep the island of Rogan stuck in the dark ages.

~~~~

"His nose is straight, his lips thin and pale, and his eyes are the most beautiful molten green. He was like a dream, an aspiration of my lonely mind."

Along the way she encounters a mysterious man named Raziel, a well hidden family secret, and a whole other world she never knew existed. As Maia deals with survival and newly discovered powers, she will find herself, and maybe even some romance, along the way.

When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon. * * * Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery. When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped.

Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages. Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic.

As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans. Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of.
