About this book

The palace is owed taxes. Alex Mauricio needs to pay it and keep her brother out of the army. It should be a simple exchange-her freedom for a clean slate. But nothing is simple when you can speak to animals in a kingdom that wants to use its dragons as weapons.

As a handmaid, Alex expected the nobles' cruelty. What she didn't expect was catching the attention of the kingdom's ruthless ruler, who sees her gift as the key to controlling his prized dragons. Now trapped in a deadly game, Alex must survive trials to prove her worth or face consequences.

As Alex fights for her freedom, she discovers that the greatest threat may not be the dragons she fears, but the humans who wish to rule them. With her family's fate hanging in the balance and a King who will stop at nothing to control her, Alex faces an impossible choice: refuse the king, and her family pays, or submit, and risk betraying the very creatures who have chosen to trust her.

About the author

Brenna Bustamante

I was born in the Philippines, grew up in Papua New Guinea, and migrated to the US 11 years ago (after over 21 years of waiting for a visa). From experiencing living in a culture where cannibals were normal, to growing up in a culture where we're taught to just appreciate what we have and just shake away the negative emotions, I feel like I have a lot of demons to fight that I'd love to put into stories. I've traveled a lot, having been to most of Asia and North America. With all of the experiences I have and the background I've come from, my entire life I've had to deal with mental health issues.

With regular therapy, a lot of self-reflection and acceptance of who I am and what my body allows me to have, and my love of writing, I'd like to write books that help women with managing their mental health, too.

Currently, I'm a UX content designer, writing content for software apps. I live in the mountains of Colorado with my husband, 2 dogs, and a cat.
