The moment you see a dragon is usually your last...
Since the dragons emerged-along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and people-there's only one human city that remains standing: Vingard.
But the hellfire from above is nothing compared to the threat from within. For there is no worse fate than being dragon cursed. Slowly and excruciatingly, you'll be transformed into a mindless beast who destroys everything-and everyone-you love.
Any of us could be tainted. Any of us could be lying. Any of us could be caught and killed by the authorities.
And I'm terrified that I might be next.
There's only one other person who might suspect my secret. He's like my shadow, following me wherever I go. Part protector, part tormentor, fully annoying. Sometimes I think I am just one of the million unfathomable secrets he keeps hidden.
Because Lucan definitely knows something.
And if I'm dragon cursed, death might be the only mercy I get.

They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied.
The Gods aren't dead--they're only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all.
He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he's sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies.
But Aric Erikson wasn't part of the plan. He's the enemy's heir. Distant. Dangerous. And...the one person I can't afford to fall for. He's closed himself off completely behind a wall of ice, but the more I'm ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin.
There's only a mission I never chose--and a man I was never meant to love--standing between me and a war that will decide the fate of the world.
But if I'm the spark, maybe he's the fuse. And the Gods? They're about to wake up angry.
