Britt Helsing is a dragul keeper, desperate to rescue her missing brother and save her fragile race of butterfly-sized dragons.
Henrik is a loyal soldat of Stenberg, trained from childhood to obey the tyrannical rule of His Glory.
Hidden on a ship, Britt crosses paths—quite literally—with Henrik on a journey to Stenberg. When she’s discovered, Henrik saves her from a ravaging storm and secrets her away from Stenberg sailors.
Backed into a reluctant alliance, Henrik and Britt strike a deal: she’ll help him uncover the truth he seeks about his past, and he’ll aid her quest to free her brother. Their charade as lovers plunges them deep into Stenberg’s secrets.
With the ruthless Captain Oliver closing in and time running out, Henrik and Britt must navigate treacherous waters—both on the battlefield and in their hearts. As rebellion brews and an ancient creature awakens, they face impossible odds to save the people they love and the fragile hope of freedom.
In a world ruled by tyranny, can two unlikely allies find the courage to defy their fates—or will their pasts consume them both?

Oh, what an adventure!! Britt and Henrik will forever be in your romantasy world with abounding adventure, love, sacrifice, and draguls. The supporting cast of characters will also have you shouting encouragement to keep going even when all seems against you!!
As always Katie has written a story that draws me into a Fully realized world filled with fascinating characters. The Dragul fascinate me. I look forward to seeing how they reach their potential. I love strong female lead characters and once again Katie has created. A female lead Whois human, yet smart and capable. Truly hero quality. The love interest is well-written and he is strong and yet vulnerable. He treats her with respect. I’m awful t writing reviews. My point is if you enjoy immersive worlds and strong , well-written female characters (the male characters are great too) then this is a book you will probably enjoy.
Want a dragon that fits in your pocket? I would love to have one. Well Britt is the lucky one because she has one. This book will take you on adventures with dragons, sailors, magic, and a hint of romance.
A new story. And of course beautiful strong woman. I love that u put dragons in the story again. I had keep looking up the word ‘arcane’. Is it magic or as the dictionary says mysterious, secret, obscure. I’ll let the reader decide. Looking forward to next book
Another wonderful start to the new series. I just couldn't put it down. Fortunately it was the long weekend! Great story writing from Katie again. A lot of interesting relationships so can't wait to read more!
