Scarlet never imagined she’d become royalty—or that her new title, Princess Aliyah, would come with more than a crown.

When her adoptive brother, Prince Laviel, tries to make the ultimate sacrifice to save her, Aliyah finds she is willing to do anything to save him in return. And that means making a perilous journey to the Guardians—powerful, dragon-like creatures hidden deep in the mysterious Somorahs. The problem? Aliyah is terrified of them.

Her path to the Somorahs is fraught with danger, and as she skirts the edge of the untamed Wildlands, disaster strikes. A group of cutthroat creatures captures her, intent on selling her to the highest bidder. Their destination? The Norlands, a dark and treacherous realm the King warned her to avoid at all costs.

With time running out, Aliyah must find a way to escape her captors, face her fears, and summon the courage of a true warrior. But as the date of Laviel’s execution draws closer, Aliyah discovers the Norlands hold secrets that could either doom her mission or help her uncover the strength she didn’t know she had.

In a race against time, enemies, monsters, and her own doubts, Aliyah must decide: Can a worried warrior truly become the hero her brother—and her kingdom—needs?
