In a world where dragons are hunted for the very fire that keeps them alive, survival is the only rule.

Five years into the Great War, dragonkind is on the brink of extinction. Humans have turned the tide with "dragonseers"—terrible machines powered by stolen dragon heartfire. For eleven-year-old Auren, a sapphire-blue dragon approaching his Age of Fire, the world has shrunk to the cold stone walls of a hidden cave and the whispered warnings of his mother: Stay hidden. Stay alive.

But when his mother fails to return from a secret meeting and human hunters discover their sanctuary, Auren is forced to flee in desperation to protect his younger sister, Sira. With nothing but an ancient heartfire shard and a flickering hope, they must traverse human-occupied lands and the desolate Scorched Plains to reach the legendary Mist Mountains.

As Auren’s path entwines with an ancient prophecy of the "Last Flame," he discovers he may be more than just a survivor. He might be the only one capable of standing between his kind and total extinction.

The fire is fading. The hunt is on. Auren’s journey has just begun.
