“Lam concludes the duology that began with Dragonfall in this action-filled novel with the highest of stakes.” —Library Journal
"Lam’s character-driven plotting and intricate dragon lore continue to delight" —Publishers Weekly
The final book in a lush and inventive fantasy duology with a slowburn romance, in which long-banished dragons, revered as gods, return to the mortal realm—a perfect read for your next book club!
Arcady faces their greatest heist yet: posing as a noble student at the arcane University of Vatra. When the University announces the reinstatement of archaic trials of magic, the ever-penniless Arcady seizes the chance. If they win, they not only prove their worth, but the scholarship will give them more time to unlock secrets and reveal, once and for all, that their grandsire was not the Plaguebringer. Yet grief still leaves Arcady broken, and when they close their eyes, they dream of a certain dragon.
Everen, once the hope of dragons, is now hated by his kind. When he is eventually released from his prison, the Queen is clear: while he may help protect the island from wraith attacks, he is no longer a prince of the realm. As he struggles to find his place in Vere Celene, visions of the past, the future, and tantalizing glimpses of Arcady still haunt him. If he steers the wrong path through fate’s storm, he may never be able to create a future where both humans and dragons live in harmony.
Arcady soon realizes that to survive the rising threats from both their old life and their new one, they must use every trick at their disposal—even magic stolen from a dragon they thought dead. And as time runs out before an ancient danger awakens, Everen must fight his way back to Arcady, earn their forgiveness, and learn what it truly means to be an Emberclaw.
Explore the world of the Dragon Scales duology with bonus content, including historical timeline, glossary, and illustrated map!

Arcady is moving into their new identity as a noble but destitute student at the University of Vatra. When they discover that the university will relaunch its magic trials, whose winner will receive a full scholarship, Arcady knows this is their chance to fulfill their dreams of study and to prove that their grandsire was not the Plaguebringer. Meanwhile, the dragon Everen is back in Vere Celene and has fallen out of favor with all dragons, including his mother, the queen. As the dragons battle wraiths in their land, and Arcady fights to survive the magic trials, both characters will come to realize that the only way to defeat the ancient forces that are approaching is to once again join together, no matter the distance between them. But this very same connection may be the thing that destroys them and both of their worlds. The novel is narrated from multiple points of view (including those of protagonists and antagonists), giving a well-rounded vision of the characters and setting. VERDICT Lam concludes the duology that began with Dragonfall in this action-filled novel with the highest of stakes. A delightful dragon story.--Kristi Chadwick

Lam’s riveting finale to her Dragon Scales duology (after Dragonfall) combines drama, romance, and high-stakes political intrigue. Magnes, once the last male dragon, has gone insane, murdered a Chancellor, and acquired a dragon claw relic that enhances his power so he can rule all of Lumet. Now a thief named Arcady, who’s been separated from their bonded dragon, Everen, enrolls in the University of Vatra to improve their magical abilities and scour the school’s library for proof that their grandfather, who was scapegoated and put to death, was not actually the detested Plaguebringer. When the university reinstates trials of magic, Arcady is surprised to be competing against their nemesis, Sorin, Magnes’s reluctant spy at the school. Meanwhile, Everen, once imprisoned in the dragon world of Vere Celene, is released to fulfill a murky prophecy: “As above, so below. As what was, so shall become. Whatever you do, remember this: you must not wake the Dreamer.” If the Dreamer, a giant serpent sleeping between worlds, does awaken, it would bring the apocalypse. Lam’s character-driven plotting and intricate dragon lore continue to delight and the stakes ramp up enough to make this a satisfying conclusion. Series fans will not be disappointed.
