They told her he was dead. He was just waiting.

Hadley Finch has been chasing this story for nine months and she's almost out of leads. The dragon syndicate that runs her city is untouchable. Every source dries up. Every lead vanishes.

Then an anonymous tip sends her to a bar called The Low Ember, and she meets its owner: a silent giant with scars no human could have earned, old eyes, and hands that pause a beat too long when she shows him her evidence.

Ronan Kastel was dead to the Pyre Throne eleven years ago. Exiled. Erased. He's been keeping his head down and his dragon dormant ever since. He is not looking for a fight. He is not looking for a woman. He is definitely not looking for a journalist poking at the organization that would kill him on sight.

Then she comes back to his bar. And back. And back.

When a syndicate enforcer sees her face, Ronan makes a choice he can't undo.

He was supposed to be forgotten.

He's about to make them remember why they were afraid of him.

Outcast redemption. Found family. Enemies-turned-allies. One exiled dragon who decided she was worth becoming dangerous again.
