For Everest, it wasn't bad enough that she found out she had to go to a school for witches, but finding out that she's dealing with dragons, that was going a little bit too far. Now, she's a First Descendant and hunted by the fiercest dragon of all, spawning a resurgence of a dragon war that was long dead.

Slade knows pain. He was a captive of the Black Diamond dragons and tortured near the brink of madness. He's lost everything. His family, the woman he loved. But now he has a mission, to protect Everest, a woman who stirs in him feelings that should be long dead.
