About This Book

Since the Banishment drove dragons from open existence, Rena has carved out a brutal, solitary role as the Drakan Enforcer — policing her own kind so that humans never learn what walks among them. But when rogue dragons begin slaughtering those who won't pledge loyalty to a rising warlord, Rena's mission collides with something far older and more dangerous than politics: the blue mating fire, a force not seen in centuries, that ignites between her and the very dragon she's been sent to destroy. What follows is a story about loyalty, identity, and what it costs to choose between duty and something you never asked for and can't undo.

Hart brings a sharp, propulsive energy to this revised and expanded edition, weaving dragon mythology into a world that feels genuinely lived-in rather than decorative. The pacing moves with confidence — never lingering too long on world-building, never rushing past the emotional stakes — and the tension between Rena's hard-won independence and forces larger than herself gives the story real weight. Readers who enjoy fantasy grounded in character-driven conflict will find this one quietly hard to put down.
