In the beginning, there were seven dragon gods. Now, there are eight.
Anruhn was shaped by ancient beings who buried their power in the earth and birthed every race that walks it. Centuries later, humans rule the north with iron and chains, magic is hunted, and whispers of lost medallions and vanished dragons stir unrest in every kingdom.
Lyra Rose Ishil knows only the collar around her throat and the blade in her hand. Branded a human assassin and weapon of the crown, she has no memory of the life stolen from her-only the ache in her bones when she looks at the stars, and the cold fire that answers when she bleeds.
When a fragile peace treaty draws the other races to her king's court, a foreign ruler makes a dangerous bargain: Lyra will belong to him for a set number of months each year. The world believes he wants vengeance on the king's pet killer. In truth, he sees something else caged beneath her skin.
As war brews in the shadows and old powers begin to wake, Lyra is forced to question everything she's been taught-about her king, her enemies, and the terrifying truth of what she really is.
