House Dragon murdered Darling Seabrook's family. She owes her life to both the power of her Chaos Boon and House Kraken for liberating her from the sewers where she spent her childhood hiding. So when her adoptive Kraken father is captured, Darling vows to save him--even if that means killing every member of House Dragon. Talon Goldhoard is the dutiful War Prince for House Dragon, leading the elite troops of his brother, Caspian, the High Prince Regent. But Caspian's erratic rule threatens to undo a century of hard work, and factions turn to Talon to unseat him. Talon resists, until he's ambushed by a fierce girl who looks exactly like the one Caspian has painted obsessively for years, and Talon knows she's the key to everything. Together, Darling and Talon must navigate the treacherous waters of House politics, caught up in the complicated game Caspian is playing against everyone. They'll have to stop fighting each other long enough to learn to survive the fiery prophecies and ancient blood magic threatening to devastate their entire world.
