A
dangerous journey.
Shattered bonds.
Undying passion.
Jacinda was
supposed to bond with Cassian, the "prince" of their pride. But she
resisted her fate long before she fell in love with Will—a human and, worse, a
hunter. When she ran away with Will, it ended in disaster, with Cassian's
sister, Miram, captured. Weighed down by guilt, Jacinda knows she must rescue
her to set things right. Yet to do so she will have to venture deep into the
heart of enemy territory.
Marked as special at an
early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom
to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind,
she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger
who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of
dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.
Forced
to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to
her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will.
Gorgeous, elusive Will who
stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him,
Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should
avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies
she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even
if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.
Mythical
powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all
expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.
My Review
To save the life of the boy she loves,
Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of
her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might
never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s
memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?

The only way Jacinda can reach Miram is by posing as a prisoner herself, though once she assumes that disguise, things quickly spiral out of her control. As she learns more about her captors, she realizes that even if Will and Cassian can carry out their part of the plan, there's no guarantee they'll all make it out alive. But what Jacinda never could have foreseen is that escaping would be only the beginning....
Loyalties are tested and sacrifices made in the explosive conclusion to Sophie Jordan's Firelight trilogy.
