I’m a warrior, the most skilled dragon to wield a sword since my mother put her mark on the Kingdom’s history, but I’m not allowed to take my place without a Ryder.

​

Yes, I’m a dud. A ryderless dragon. And I’m stuck in this palace, surrounded by dragons fulfilling their destiny, while I pass the days teaching them the skills to defend the kingdoms, unable to fulfill mine. I’m letting my entire line of storm dragons down.

​

Until he turns up.

​

Luka is like no one I’ve ever met. A breath of fresh air, but I’m not sure I can trust him. He seems to be on the wrong side of everything. Walking in the shadows and making secret deals.

​

But when he discovers dragon’s eggs are being moved in secret, I have no choice but to throw myself into his clandestine world. I have to trust him to show me the worst parts of the kingdoms so we can find who’s stealing the eggs.

​

The trouble with the shadows is, they hide a lot more than we bargained for.
