A fierce dragon slayer bound by her role as the Iskari—the legendary destroyer—Asha has spent her life believing she's nothing more than a weapon forged for death and destruction. When she's finally offered a chance at freedom in exchange for slaying the most powerful dragon in all the land, she discovers that the ancient stories she's grown up with might not tell the whole truth. With help from an unexpected ally, Asha begins to question everything she's been taught about herself, her destiny, and what it truly means to be a legend. It's a sweeping fantasy romance about shedding the layers of a predetermined fate and finding love and light in the most surprising places.
