The dragons are coming! In Julie Kagawa's new series starter, these once-hunted creatures have gained safety and growing numbers by covertly assuming the form of humans. As their plans solidify for domination of the planet, two masquerading dragon siblings become caught in the crossfire. Ember and Dante Hill have been trained to infiltrate human society, but Ember is not content to be just a spy. Yearning to experience normal life as a teenager, she begins to question all that she has been taught. As she slides into doubt, she crosses paths with another soul in crisis: Garret Xavier Sebastian, a young man who has been charged with destroying all dragons.
