Arden has spent ten years as an invisible prisoner in her own village. The curse that binds her allows her to watch and listen but never speak or touch. She sees her family mourn her disappearance while she stands right beside them. Her only companion is rage toward the witch who stole her life. When flames consume her village, everything shifts. Dragons emerge from the destruction, creatures that can take human form. Their eyes pierce through her curse. For the first time in a decade, someone can see her. Tage, the alpha dragon, takes Arden to the Crags. She plans to escape this world of fire and danger, but Tage draws her in despite her resistance. As she learns to navigate dragon politics and growing threats of war, Arden discovers she carries magic far older and more dangerous than her curse. War approaches. Arden must choose between trusting the dragon who captivates her, embracing the wild power stirring within her, or losing everything she has fought to reclaim. Her path to freedom may require casting a spell as powerful as the one that trapped her.
