Without anyone to teach her how to channel her power and avoid the grief and rage of the now lordless remaining ten dragons, Eona is forced to turn to a bitter enemy, Lord Ido, to help harness her power for the greater good – but at what terrible personal cost? And even though she intends on using her dragon for good, morality quickly becomes blurred in an increasingly dangerous game of power and loyalty. Eona quickly learns that with great power comes great responsibility. Even though she has little control of her formidable power, everyone wants to control Eona – including the rightful emperor, Kygo.

When Lord Sethon, brother to the Emperor, and Lord Ido, the ascendant rat dragoneye lord, stage a violent coup that results in the slaughter of all the remaining dragoneyes and the Imperial family, Eona’s duplicity and her true nature as a woman is revealed.
