Her routine shatters the night she drags a bleeding, unconscious stranger out of a freezing ravine and hides him in her small apothecary. She treats him as an ordinary drifter, completely unaware that her mysterious patient is Callen, the immortal sovereign of the dragon realm.
Callen recovers under her gentle care, captivated by the brave healer who asks nothing of his hidden majesty. But ruthless palace usurpers track his dragon essence to the humble village, determined to slaughter his protector before he reclaims his throne. To protect both her grandmother and the enchanted monarch who commands her devotion, Sia must confront sorcerers and awaken long-buried magic of her own.
