Dragon Shifters conquered the human   continent   centuries ago. Now seems like a perfect time for a rebellion . . . Lissa Allaway is the best healer in her poverty-stricken region. Her people need her help to survive, but when she's drafted to serve the Drakeon in the capital, she's forced to abandon her loved ones and leave the only home she's ever known. With Draekon numbers dwindling, these mighty beings need inferior humans to make their city run. To some, this decline has given rise to the rumblings of rebellion . . . But are the Draekon as evil as stories say? As a child, Lissa heard the Drakeon described as cruel monsters who'd destroy anyone at the slightest provocation. Now, the fearsome but strikingly handsome Drakeon prince makes her rethink everything she knows about the dominating race. Romance or revolt seem to be Lissa's only options, and time is running out to pick a side . . .
