In a world where a bond determines identity, security, and loyalty, the connection one makes to a dragon reveals one’s inmost fears and hopes. It can drive one to hide what he desires most and force what he feels to the surface. The push and pull of a bond sets a hold on the heart only honesty can soothe. Can one woman reset one man’s bond?

Will Chakston’s agreement with seven brothers override his orders? He may wish to destroy the realm’s enemies, but the driving force behind his actions could drive the one person becoming central to his life away. The past has its demands, but the future rides on the wings of change. Dervy Kettel has enough force to break every promise he has made to himself and enough determination to veer him off course.

Dervy runs on unlimited energy. Chakston protects the innocent. When they clash, turmoil strikes. When they fly together, no enemy is safe, no village need fear. Will they choose the latter before they lose themselves and those that matter most?
