Now she's imprisoned in Varynth Hold, a fortress carved into a mountain, with one impossible cure the crown prince who's been cursed into dragon form for fifteen years.

Will Nyra's forbidden magic be enough to save the dragon prince? Or will their enemies destroy everything before love can break the curse?
