The dragons will kill him… unless he can find a cure.

Bonding with a dragon was supposed to make Isiah a noble. But when his dragon rejects him and maims him with magical fire, he’s banished from his kingdom and marked an enemy of the dragons for life.

His only hope: to venture into the unforgiving Badlands in search of an ancient and long-lost cure. But he soon finds his fate tangled up with a gang of cut-throat Raiders and the mighty eagles they fly. The Raiders hold the key to fixing his curse—but if they find out who he is, they’ll kill him.

Fighting to keep his past a secret while navigating a deadly world of bloodthirsty thieves, buried ruins and vicious rivalries, Isiah must stay one step ahead of his enemies—all while figuring out who he can really trust. One wrong move and he’s as good as dead… and beneath the scorching Badlands sun, the dragons are the least of his problems.
