In their desperate search for safety, Rhi turns to none other than one of the secret dragon masters of Habitat Seventeen, Laura, Lady of Ash.

Loyal, obedient, and exactly what she needs to deal with a pervasive monster situation in her territory before the other Starborn catch wind of it. Rhi tentatively agrees, but the plan is complicated by the watchful eye of Calia, a bloodthirsty dragon with much to gain from their failure.

Accused of breaching Starborn law by dragons seeking an advantage, she relies—begrudgingly—on Calia, a dragon with whom she shares deep familiarity and history, one who is unafraid to face assassins and brave an ancient forest of necromantic rot. But in the end it is Laura who rules, and she who must protect what’s hers—even at the cost of her own heart. Nomi’s druidic pilgrimage, her long awaited chance to see the world, begins with her in the wrong place at the wrong time. Alone and far from home, she finds refuge with Laura of the Ash Clan, ruler of a vast forest. But Laura has her own troubles—conspiracies, secrets and heartbreak—that occupy her, and before long Nomi finds herself drawn not to the road, but to Laura and the beautiful dragon devoted to her. As more stars fall and long-dead secrets are clawed from the grave, Laura and Calia take comfort in Nomi’s curious excitement for their world.

Through a web of wits and luck, Mahena and the twins have slipped past the gates of the Scholar Kingdom. But with political unrest simmering within its walls, gaining the cooperation of the young Princess is a battle of its own. When Fate comes knocking on your door, refusing her is a dance of devils even the strongest can only evade for so long.

Valàander is a realm forged by gods and monsters, and when the demon within her stirs in Mahena’s presence, it ignites a spark both dangerous and unexpected. When Mahena is presented with the offer to save the Prince’s life in exchange for access to the libraries, her decision awakens darker events. With proof of her connection to magic unfolding and the little voice stirring dark thoughts in her mind and heart, fear of what she might truly be terrifies her—and yet she has never felt more alive. As her distrust of Fàaran grows, her connection with Emmerentia deepens, and visions of a mist-shrouded figure haunt her. But the game is shifting, and her missing memories might be the key to everything. As hidden pasts unravel and buried truths rise to the surface, unlikely allies emerge from the shadows. But with an enemy hell-bent on claiming the world, how much time is left before darkness consumes them all?

Centuries before the Age of the Anathema, an ancient and forgotten manuscript was uncovered. It contained secrets of the beginning. It contained a prophecy of the end... After thirteen-year-old Schandrof falls asleep in a field of godflowers, he is visited by a goddess who shows him visions of the past—of a war in the heavens and a great evil buried beneath the earth. These visions are too much for Schandrof to bear, and fearing for his sanity, he abandons the goddess in the field. Years later, as the empire is struck by a blight and whispers of war fill the air, a sign appears in the stars. Schandrof recognises this as the sign of the evil one which was shown to him in his childhood visions. When he is conscripted to fight for the empire, he realises his only hope of survival is turning to the goddess he once abandoned. Now, Schandrof must seek her aid to save himself, the empire, and all he holds dear. But what will the scorned goddess demand of him in return?
