Twelve princes knelt to be crowned. Twelve dragons rose off the dais. Their sister was the only one born empty enough to save them.

Princess Elyra has spent seventeen years as the family's only disappointment.

Her twelve brothers carry the ancient power of the Twelve Houses-fire, frost, shadow, storm. Elyra carries nothing. No magical line. No gift. No place at court except the one her brothers have carved out for her.

Then their coronation goes catastrophically wrong.

The palace breaks open. An ancient power wakes beneath the mountain. And Elyra's twelve brothers become dragons-slowly losing everything that once made them human.

Everyone believes Elyra is powerless.

Everyone is wrong.

To bring her brothers home, Elyra must complete an impossible working woven from moon-thorn and silence. But the magic demands payment, and it doesn't want blood.

It wants her memories.

Her laughter. Her voice. The faces of the brothers she is trying desperately to save.

And while Elyra fights a court determined to control her and a curse older than the kingdom itself, an enemy prince arrives demanding surrender.

Prince Rhoan of Sarrend should be the last man she trusts.

Instead, he becomes the first man who truly sees her.

He doesn't speak for her. He doesn't demand answers she cannot give. And as political necessity threatens to bind them in marriage, something far more dangerous begins growing between them-something Elyra may have no memories left to keep.

Because the girl everyone called hollow was never empty.

She was made for something far older than a crown.

And saving the people she loves may require her to give up everything that makes her who she is.

A dark, emotional romantasy retelling of The Wild Swans, featuring cursed dragon princes, ancient magic, court intrigue, a fiercely devoted sister, an enemy prince, political marriage, slow-burn romance, and a heroine whose greatest weakness may be the power that saves them all.
