In an underground empire where dragons determine your worth, those who remain unchosen by their twentieth nameday are condemned to the Reformatory Tunnels—a sentence few survive.
For Lanie Pierce, only a fortnight remains.
When a mysterious dragon finally answers her desperate prayers, she believes her future is saved. But some creatures were never meant to exist, and some bonds are better left unforged.
In an empire built upon blood, obedience, and ancient lies, Lanie will discover that being chosen is not always a blessing.
Soon, she will come to wonder whether the Reformatory Tunnels would have been a mercy.
Some legends are written in blood. Others are born in fire.
