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.

Her world is further upended when she inherits three dragon eggs. Dragon eggs have not been seen in centuries, making Asha's possession of them dangerous. In a desperate attempt to unravel the secrets of the eggs, she joins forces with Adriel, a prince from another kingdom who also desires the dragon eggs for his own purposes.

As they journey together, Asha forms an unlikely connection with Drakkar, a dragon who holds the key to locating other dragons in the northern mountains. In a world where worth is determined by how well one fits into society's narrow mold, Asha faces a pivotal choice: Embrace the power that lies within her, or yield to what others believe she can or cannot become?
