In a dark alternate dystopian universe, certain people in the city are forced to fight for their lives every single day to provide entertainment for the rich. Kai Sequetur is one such person. She fought for the first time when she was eight to try and get enough money to help her critically ill brother. She was never meant to win that battle, but when she did, she earned herself a legacy, a job and a title. Dragonslayer. Years later, at fifteen, Kai is still trapped in the never-ending cycle of being a Champion when a horrible event makes her decide to take her life into her own hands. But she did not expect to find herself outside the city, with people she can't trust, struggling to make the transformation from Dragonslayer to Dragonrider. When she accidentally uncovers a plot containing secrets so terrible that they've been hidden for centuries, Kai realises that it's not just her life at stake- it's the entire world as she knows it.
