Book excerpt: In a world divided and fractured by curses, wizards, and calculating lords, the fate of Withrae rests in the hands of Princess Noemie. And—this time—she won’t play the pretty submissive princess. She’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect her kingdom. Even if that means making an ally with someone from her past. Rowen--the queen of the dragons--finds herself dethroned and on the run once again. This time, her only ally is the father she once despised, and a mysterious hidden clan of elf mages. Follow New York Times bestselling author K.N. Lee on a coming of age adventure of a lifetime through dragon lands, elf territory, mermaid kingdoms, and a dark unknown world of legends.
