A Princess Shaped by her Scars. A Commander Bound by Obedience. A Dragon who Refuses to Play by the Rules. PRINCESS ROWEN GRIFFON never intended to ride a dragon. In fact, after the accident that took her leg, she never intended to ride anything with more personality than a horse-drawn carriage. The dragons, however, had other ideas. And a dragon is never wrong. Now she's navigating the military, a dragon with his own agenda, and Flight Commander Darian Khaelis—a man with little patience for royalty, no appetite for excuses, and an infuriating habit of seeing straight through her. As Rowen uncovers how far the crown will go in the name of power, she's forced to decide whether she can defend the empire she was born to serve—or if some bridges deserve to be burned.
