$0.00

Kaida was raised to be the weapon that ended dragons.

The last of a winged people whose name has been lost to history, she bears a weapon no smith could forge: twelve feet of white wings, every feather edged in living metal and honed sharp enough to cut through flesh and scale. Beneath a king’s command, she has spent her life mastering them for one purpose: to kill monsters no one believes still live.

Then an ancient dragon egg is unearthed beneath the capital, and Kaida is sent to claim it before anyone else can.

She is too late.

A notorious thief steals the egg first, dragging Kaida into a hunt beyond the borders of everything she knows and toward a truth powerful men have spent generations burying. Because dragons are not gone. Her people were not what she was taught. And the war that nearly destroyed them both may never have truly ended.

Now old enemies are stirring, forgotten blood is calling, and something ancient has begun to awaken.

Kaida was forged to slay dragons.

She may have been born to stand beside them.
