Genevieve is determined to compete in the kingdom’s brutal dragon races despite her family’s opposition and her lack of money or a willing trainer. Her only option is Qais, a feared and suspiciously connected dragon rider who offers his help in exchange for her winnings. Training draws them into an uneasy partnership while the increasingly violent competition tests Genevieve’s courage, morality and control. To have any chance of winning, she must survive sabotage, master the dangers of dragon racing and decide whether trusting Qais will save her dream or cost her everything.
