"Stolen magic. Rising evil. Tangled loyalties. Orphan Harper discovers a legendary Dragonheart and instantly becomes the most wanted person in Pelenor, where magic, dragons, and elves rule. She must quickly learn how to survive--or die. Searching for the elven King's missing Dragonheart is his ruthless Spymaster Dimitri, who has his own agenda to revolutionise Pelenor, and free it from the King's greed. Harper is thrust into a web of intrigue beyond her knowledge, and her newfound companions--a roguish elven thief and his ragtag band--might not be the trustworthy friends she thinks. When Harper and Dimitri's paths collide, the only thing more dangerous than lies might be the truth, but either might destroy them. Harper is forced to ally with the hated spymaster--and Dimitri is equally displeased his fate rests in her unworthy hands. Harper and Dimitri must join forces to ensure both of them survive the King's wrath in a court where betrayal is as easy as breathing. The Dragonheart is key to both their successes--but only one can possess it, and the king will not suffer its loss. Who will drown in deceit and who will rise triumphant?"--Back cover.
