My older brother sold me to a brothel before our father’s body even had time to cool. I escaped by a miracle—only now there’s a new danger facing me: the icy expanses of Negresh and his harsh forests. Hope completely left me when I found him—a wounded dragon. I knew that helping creatures like him would come with consequences, but I couldn’t abandon a dying man. Now I’ve been pulled into the epicenter of a power struggle among the ruling of the world. What can a small human girl do against ruling families of twofold beings? I have no magic, no beast! I am a daughter of the desert, a simple darkling, but my fate is to stop the elusive enemy of an entire dragon empire!
