Aprašymas

An epic dragon-rider quest where Empress of Salt and Fortune meets Temeraire

Meka must cull a king dragon, or die trying.

War between the island states of Kattaka and Mazemoor has left no one unscathed. Meka's nomadic people, the Ba'Suon, were driven from their homeland by the Kattakans. Those who remained were forced to live under the Kattakans' yoke and to serve their greed for gold, alongside the dragons the Ba'Suon share an empathic connection with.

A decade later and under a fragile truce, Meka returns home from her exile for an ancient, necessary rite: culling a king dragon of the Crown Mountains to maintain balance in the wild country. But Meka's act of compassion toward an imprisoned dragon and Lilley, a Kattakan veteran of the war, soon draws the ire of the Kattakan authorities and leads to the unwelcome addition of Raka, a Ba'Suon traitor, to her journey.

The journey is filled with dangers within and without, and as conflict threatens to reignite, the survival of the Ba'Suon people, their dragons, and the land itself will depend on the choices - defiant or compliant - that Meka and her companions make.
