Nine years ago, Syra was thrust into a war: a hide-and-seek battle for control of five powerful crystals that killed her father and put a bounty on her head. In a race against her father's murderer, Syra must take human-form and traverse the five kingdoms to halt his efforts to rebuild a powerful relic that should never have been created.
But war is brewing in the human kingdom. Social unrest is shaking every city and the web of rebellion will use any means to accomplish their goals, making her a glowing target. Enemy ears are everywhere and prejudices run deep, even in the people closest to her. And as a wyrmling who can't breathe fire, she is left with estranged siblings, an ex-fiance, and little options.
