A noblewoman in disgrace, three countries on the brink of war, a fierce military dragon and his clever, handsome mate...lives forever changed and nations reforged!

Baroness Agadart ver Kleelan of Kaaltendt escapes certain execution by way of working with Queen Theaedra's operatives to take down her own traitorous husband. It was a political marriage to start and it ended ignobly mired in the politics of powerful forces battling for supremecy. Exiled to serve anonymously in the much-maligned Dragon Maids Auxilary Corps as nothing more than a servant to the dragons of Kaaltendt, she braces for a life of hardship and loneliness...but at least she managed to survive.

Agadart is sent to apprentice herself at the remote Fort Endestern, which is the farthest aerie in the land of Kaaltendt, sitting on a rocky cliff on the easternmost shores of the continent. It is also where the foreign-born dragon Duke Rodgardae Leonteinparre, on loan from his country the Isle of Watt as part of a complicated political and military agreement with Kaaltendt, has been newly stationed as the Fort Master of Endestern. His mate and guardian, Mani Roki, is also a stranger in a strange land.

As Emperor Rhezv of the distant but massive country of Iskaryyva rattles his sabre, threatening both the Isle of Watt and Kaaltendt with his crazed quest for world domination, Agadart finds herself in a complicated dance with two men who see something more in her than she ever expected might exist.

Can their blossoming love survive a cataclysmic war? Can Agadart escape the Dragon Maids Corps to find happiness? And where is the long lamented, missing Queen Dragon of Watt?
