Princess Asha has always defied the brutal expectations of her warrior empire. When a life-altering injury shatters her vision and her future in the Ujuima military—she’s cast into the dragon pits.

In a kingdom where dragons are nearly extinct and their eggs are myth, Asha, now a blind dragonkeeper, inherits three. Although a pawn in their political games, her lack of sight sharpens her other senses, allowing her to perceive truths no one else can. But when the eggs’ existence makes her a target, she’s forced into an arranged marriage to secure her family’s power.

Enter Adriel, a morally gray prince from a rival kingdom, who offers her an alliance instead of a wedding ring. He wants the eggs for his own reasons, but neither expects the electric pull between them—or the dragon, Drakkar, who whispers to Asha of a hidden dragon colony in the northern mountains.

As their journey unravels the eggs’ secrets, Asha faces an impossible choice: reclaim her birthright as a royal pawn or ignite a revolution to restore dragonkind’s freedom. But in an empire where trust is lethal and blind girls are meant to be silent, survival will demand she rewrite the rules with fire.

Once cast out into the belly of dragons, she will take her power back and burn the empire to the ground.
