FROM THE ASHES OF AN EMPIRE, A PRINCE WILL RISE…
Jai is nothing more than a royal hostage and lowly servant to the empire that slew his family and now rule his people. He has been manservant to the old emperor for most of his life, and only watches on from a distance as the empire grows more powerful – a new alliance is to be formed as the young prince is betrothed to Princess Erica of the Dansk Kingdom – a people from a northern, icy realm.
The princess brings with her a gift: dragons. Only Dansk Royalty can soulbond with these magical beasts to draw on their power and strength.
Until now.
When the betrothal goes wrong, a bloody coup leads to chaos at court, and Jai uses the turmoil as an opportunity to escape. Fleeing, Jai comes into possession of a dragon egg – sparking the beginning of a bond which will change his fate – and that of the world – forever.
An epic new fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Taran Matharu, where dragons fly and empires fall.
