When a rescue mission goes dangerously wrong, Jacinda must infiltrate enemy territory herself—but posing as a prisoner means losing control of her own fate. Torn between the human boy she loves and the dragonkin she left behind, she discovers that her captors aren't quite what she expected, and the stakes are far higher than anyone anticipated. As alliances fracture and everyone she cares about is forced to choose a side, Jacinda realizes that even if they manage to escape, the real battle for survival is only just beginning. This explosive finale will test everything she believes about loyalty, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be a hero.
