An uncertain past. A sinister tattoo. A woman whose origin is steeped in mystery. For Tate—last name unknown—everything prior to being found by pirates on an isolated piece of land is a blank. Her only clue to the person she was—a dragon tattoo capable of moving under its own will. Brought to the city of Aurelia, Tate is forced to abandon the few people she knows to make her way alone. When a momentary impulse forces her to intervene in a situation she does not understand, she’ll find that reckless actions have unintended consequences. Friendless and alone, Tate will have to be light on her feet if she wants to survive in a city where no one is what they seem. Monsters walk the labyrinth beneath Aurelia’s streets, and it’s there where Tate will find the biggest clue to her past. Unlocking her hidden memories might just be the only thing keeping her alive to prevent the coming war.
An ancient discovery has been made close to the city of Aurelia—one that promises wealth and power equal only to the dangerous secrets lying at its heart. With three powerful groups vying for control of the discovery’s unlimited potential, it will take a delicate touch not to tip the scales toward war. Something Tate Fisher, a newly accepted dragon-ridden with a bit of a memory problem, has never been known for possessing. Tate must learn to navigate the undercurrents of this society if she wants her friends and empire to come out the other side in one piece. Because these secrets involve Tate, and they don’t intend to let her go so easily.
