Will adapting to a changing world make one young woman lose touch with where she came from?
Far from the kingdom of Torvald, on the Western Isles near the coast, Sea Dragons rule the skies. Lila is the daughter of the Raider leader, destined to take his place one day aboard their plundering ships. Her people value only what shiny trinkets they can get their hands on, but she aspires to much more than that: Lila wants the Raiders to become Dragon Mercenaries, dragon riders who help protect merchant fleets and navies from attack. Her father Kasian is skeptical, but a young monk named Danuβwith a quest of his ownβcomes bearing a prophecy claiming that Lila is the lost heir of Roskilde, a born Dragon Rider.
With Danuβs guidance, Lila finds the unruly dragon sheβs destined to bond withβbut the mismatched pair soon learn that much more than just their futures is at stake.
