Princess Ira is the last surviving daughter of the Solar Empire of Vardhana, a ruthless dynasty that conquered half the continent during the Dragon Wars, and she has been raised since childhood to believe that dragons are monstrous destroyers who nearly wiped humanity from existence.

However, Ira is not the obedient princess the empire hoped she would become.

She is intelligent, sharp-tongued, dangerously curious about forbidden history, and secretly obsessed with the ancient myths that the royal court has forbidden anyone from studying.

Unknown to her, the blood of the first dragon riders flows through her veins.

And the dragons have been waiting centuries for someone like her to return.
