I never wanted to rule. I never wanted to have men follow me. Die for me. But now, they do it anyway. The power in me is growing. If I’m not careful, it will consume me. It will consume everything. And the gods want it back. They come to me in a vision. Through the smoke and the screams of dying men, they give me a choice. Bow before them or die. My choice is easy; I defend what’s mine. It’s easier said than done, of course. I have to build an army unlike anything the Bosses have ever seen.

It always seems to be, lately. Blood. Mayhem. Destruction. It just follows me. The people after me - they’re relentless. They’ve hunted me from the moment I stepped into this new power. They say it’s not mine. That it belongs to the dragon Bosses. Hell, maybe even to the gods themselves. Well, anyone who wants my magic can fight me for it. I’m a diamond dragon, and the only one of my kind. Though I’ve been able to keep that a secret while my dragon and I get to know each other, we can’t hide the truth much longer.

The only other diamond dragons in history were the gods themselves. So...what does that make me?

The magic I possess - the magic I’m quickly mastering - it can destroy whole cities. Start wars. Change the tides of a battle.

He wants to take my old place at Zurie’s side. And the only way he can get it, apparently, is to kill me. Dragons and humans alike just won’t leave me alone. In the end, that’s going to be their fatal mistake. Because I don’t go down quietly.

A dangerous and cruel dragon-shifter is holding my sister hostage. And I am going to kill him. With my bare hands, if I have to. He wants to trade - Irena’s life, for mine. For my freedom. For the ancient and deadly dragon magic I fused with when his cronies kicked me into a pit to die. I came back from the dead, and I brought the fury of hell with me. Now, they’re running scared - as they should. All of them, except this guy. As the cherry on this toxic pie, my mentor is hunting me, too. She’s using every skill she ever taught me to track me down and lock me away.
