Begin with book one.
Sorelle steals medicine to keep Lowtown’s children alive. Zarielle has spent her life learning how to make powerful people do what she wants. Raised on opposite sides of the same city, neither knows she has a twin.
Then the dragons return—and answer to them both.
Their shared blood gives them a claim to Draethera’s throne. It also makes them a threat to the king and the Temple that helped hide their existence. Zari sees a chance to take the power she has always wanted. Relle sees a chance to protect the people that power has failed.
But the sisters have different ideas about what saving their kingdom should cost. A dangerous prince draws Zari deeper into court politics, while Relle’s growing love for her closest ally gives her more to lose on the streets. As dragon-touched children are hunted and rebellion spreads, every alliance asks them to betray someone.
Claiming their birthright may put a crown within reach—and a sister in the way.
