MEET THE CHARACTERS

KA

Kaelen Ashford

A 24-year-old huntress with sun-bronzed skin and callused hands that move with quiet precision. Her dark chestnut hair is perpetually tangled, tied back with leather cord, and her sharp gray eyes carry the watchfulness of someone who's learned to survive alone. A faint scar runs from her collarbone to her shoulder blade—a gift from the first wolf she brought down at sixteen.

V

Vexaren

A dragon with scales the color of burnt copper and amber eyes. She moves like smoke through the underbrush, her body big with four powerful paws with claws, wings folded tight against her spine. A silver arrow is still embedded in her flank when Kaelen finds her—a reminder of the king's hunters who nearly claimed her life.

SV

Seraphina Valcourt

A 20-year-old princess with honey-blond hair that tumbles past her shoulders and eyes the color of summer storms—restless, searching, unafraid. She wears a torn silk dress when Kaelen finds her, dirt-streaked and furious, clearly not a woman accustomed to being rescued. There is a steel in her spine that speaks of a girl who grew up in a gilded cage and has been looking for the lock ever since.

The First Flight

The fire crackles low in the hollow beneath the pines when Kaelen looks up from the bedrolls and says it—'Vexaren wants to know if you'd like to fly.' Seraphina's hand freezes on the satchel strap, he
