Book Synopsis

For the first printing only! This hardcover features sprayed edges while the special edition supply lasts.

A young woman must survive the deadly mythical creature she smuggled aboard an airship after a crash landing on a deserted island frees it to begin hunting the survivors in this thrilling fantasy adventure from New York Times bestselling author Scott Reintgen.

When an airship's windmaster dies mid-flight, the crew and its passengers are swept out to sea by a violent storm. They crash on a desolate island, but they're not alone. A dragoness had been stashed in the hold. After escaping a damaged cage, it begins preying on the surviving travelers in the hopes of remaining free.

The stranded group's best chance of making it home alive is the young woman who smuggled the dragoness on board in the first place--and the mysterious teen boy who was led onto the ship in chains before takeoff. Both have secrets that could help them survive on the island...but those same secrets could deliver a death sentence if they ever make it home.
