A fiercely imagined world! --Mary E. Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of the Remnant Chronicles
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of My Plain Jane comes the second book in a smoldering fantasy trilogy about a girl who must embrace her latent power or lose the dragons she loves. Perfect for fans of Julie Kagawa and Kendare Blake.
Mira the Dragonhearted is on the run with her friends following a fiery escape from the prison where she'd been condemned for speaking out against dragon trafficking.
And she wants answers. Has the treaty she's been defending her whole life truly sold out the Fallen Isles to their enemies? Did her own parents lie to her? Will she lose control of her power and hurt the ones she loves?
The only way to find the truth is to go home again, to face the people who betrayed her and the parents she's not sure she can trust. Home, where she must learn to rise above her fears. Or be consumed.
- Found Family: On the run from those she once trusted, Mira must rely on a group of fellow fugitives--a loyal protector, a fierce best friend, and a silent boy who sees more than he lets on.
- Slow Burn Romance: He speaks without a voice, but his quiet support means everything. As Mira fights for her life, a fragile connection with her silent ally Aaru grows into something more, but their different worlds could tear them apart.
- Dragons and Magic: With her own dragon healing from a terrible injury, Mira discovers a dangerous, uncontrollable power over the magical noorestones that could either save everyone she loves--or destroy them.
- High-Stakes Adventure: From a daring prison break to uncovering a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top, Mira's quest for answers will force her to confront deadly enemies and the truth about her own family.
