In a world on the brink of war, Valencia has spent years hiding in plain sight, masquerading as a human to escape the past that haunts her. A witch among the supernatural, trying to wipe out her race she's done everything to stay out of their politics-until her inevitable fate, a cursed dagger, drags her back in to face her power of destruction.
Cassian, the ruthless and calculating King of Dragons, is determined to win the second war against his rival. Victory means power, legacy, and securing his people's survival. But when his hunt for an ancient weapon leads him straight to Valencia, his mission becomes far more complicated.
Control or be controlled is the name of the game. Will Valencia overcome the shadows or will she be bound by the sword?
