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

Bonding with a dragon was supposed to make Isiah a noble. Instead it leaves him burned by dragonfire, banished from his kingdom, and marked as prey by the very creatures he was meant to command.

Desperate to erase his failure, Isiah flees into the scorching Badlands in search of a long-lost cure. But survival means joining the Raiders: cut-throat thieves who rule the desert skies on the backs of mighty eagles.

The Raiders hold the key to breaking his curse… but if they discover he once served the kingdom they despise, he’ll become just another enemy.

Caught in a deadly world of buried ruins and vicious rivalries, Isiah must decide what matters more: curing his Mark, or protecting the only people who see him as more than his failure.

Beneath the scorching Badlands sun, dragons are the least of his problems…
