She was sent into the forge as a prisoner. The dragon inside has been waiting for someone to hear the truth.
Braelin Sootmark has spent her life weighing ore and learning to trust what others overlook. When a missing account turns into an accusation of theft, she is sentenced to work inside the Forgeheart, where a powerful dragon's fire keeps the guild's furnaces burning.But the dragon is not what Braelin was told. Chained beside Kilnrend, she begins to notice patterns no one else seems willing to question. His roars carry meaning, and the records surrounding the Forgeheart hide a story that reaches back generations.
Torhan Ironhale is the Warden responsible for the forge. He has followed the guild's rules all his life, just as his father did before him. But when he starts examining the records himself, he discovers that the truth behind the Forgeheart is far more complicated than the story he was raised to believe.
As Braelin and Torhan uncover what has been hidden beneath the guild's traditions, they must decide how much they are willing to risk to expose the truth and protect the dragon who has been trapped at the heart of it all.
