Lira and Reyker have lost everything. Including each other.

Lira of Stone watched her home burn and her clan fall beneath the sword of the warlord known as the Dragon. She believes the man she loves, a warrior who defected from the Dragon's army, is dead. Alongside her exiled brother and his band of refugees, she will fight the forces that conquered her island. But the greatest danger may come from Lira herself—with the blood of banished gods running through her veins, she's become a weapon, and no one is safe from the power of her wrath.

Reyker Lagorsson thought he was done being a Dragonman. That was before he saw Lira leap from a cliff and vanish into the sea. Determined to honor her memory by protecting her people, Reyker must feign loyalty to the warlord, undermine him at every turn, and seek alliances with renegade soldiers—without succumbing to the battle-madness that threatens to possess him once more.

When the Fallen Ones offer Lira a chance to defeat the Dragon, her quest leads her to a place she never expected—Iseneld, the warlord's homeland. Her journey into the heart of the Frozen Sun will put her on a collision course with Reyker, costing both of them more than they ever imagined, and leaving her with a terrible choice: to save their countries, she must forsake everything she loves.

      Lira and Reyker face endless hardships as they search for a way to take down the Dragon. After the fall of Stony Harbor, Lira mourns the supposed death of Reyker and rejects her new powers from the blood of the Fallen Ones. All she knows is that she wants to kill Draki, the half-god known as the Dragon who's bent on conquering all. Now Veronis, the god who saved her from drowning, demands she free him, showing her visions of villages burning and her loved ones dying if she refuses. This propels Lira on a quest to find the serpent-goddess Ildja, Draki's mother, deep in the Dragon's kingdom. The sooner she frees Veronis, the sooner she can focus on the Dragon. Meanwhile, Reyker toils under Draki, having made a bargain that he'll be his Sword if he'll release captives after each raid. He's also certain Lira is dead. The two unknowingly orbit one another as the Dragon and the Fallen Gods skillfully manipulate them. If they can reunite and work together, maybe they can figure out the Dragon's weakness. Fueled by frustrating missed connections and a seemingly undefeatable antagonist, Lira's and Reyker's stories drag. Training and battle scenes trump character development, making the dramatic turns fall flat. The next installment hints at more of the same. Deep in lore but hollow in heart. (map) (Fantasy. 14-18)
