War has reduced the continent of Yrvalin to a sea of blood as kingdoms tear each other to pieces. The small queendom of Galafrey has fought to remain neutral and keep itself out of the brutal skirmish. But tragedy befalls the queendom when mysterious assassins slaughter the entire royal family overnight. The last surviving princess, a girl of 8 years, is smuggled out of the palace by unlikely protectors. Hunted by monarchs who would use her as a political pawn, the princess’ only hope is a long journey across a wartorn continent to her grandfather’s kingdom. It’s her last chance at safety. A disgraced knight and the only surviving Flamestress are all that stand between bloodthirsty killers and their princess. They’ll have to put aside their differences and assemble a team to escort the princess while enemies close in around them. Fortunately for the princess, her protectors are Dragonturned, powerful warriors blessed (or cursed) with the might and fire of dragons. The combined power of the ex-knight and Flamestress might just keep her alive. . . if they don’t kill each other first.
