A cursed rider.

A long-forgotten cure.

And a chained dragon that could set him free.

When Isiah attempts the dragon bonding ceremony that should make him a noble rider, he’s instead burned by dragonfire, banished from his kingdom, and marked as prey.

Desperate to escape the dragons hunting him, Isiah flees into the scorching Badlands in search of a mysterious oasis said to cure any curse.

But surviving here means joining the Raiders: cut-throat thieves who rule the desert skies on the backs of mighty eagles.

The Raiders hold the key to finding the oasis. But they’re also hiding a secret.

A chained dragon.

Caught in a deadly world of buried ruins and vicious rivalries, Isiah must decide what matters more: curing the Mark that made him prey… or bonding with the dragon that could change his fate forever.
