I’m an orphan raised right at the very edge of the world. Once, I thought the biggest test for me would be getting into the Dragon Academy of Kern. But I was wrong. Now my life hangs in the balance of the heir prince, the Order of the Abyss is following my tracks, ancient secrets breathe down my neck, and my dragon is still silent. Yet there are loyal friends by my side—and the one in whose presence my breath stops, even though we may not be destined to be together. I intend to survive and find my own path, even if it means challenging the sea, magic, and my own heart.
