A banished princess, an unwanted dragon, and a bond that just might save them all.

Kalia's life is all mapped out for her – she is heir to the elven homeland and marriage to a Duke's son had been arranged before she was old enough to walk. For her, the war in the north is far away and all she knows of it is stories about the fearless Dragoneers. Her life is safe. Idyllic. Until she until she accidentally bonds with the blue dragon, Farean.
Kalia is banished from her homeland and her engagement is broken – the nobility will have nothing to do with dragon riders. And the Dragoneers don't exactly welcome the former princess with open arms. To gain the respect of these warriors, she must enter the Great Dragon Race and demonstrate her skills. But she's still a novice, that's as unlikely as flying without a dragon.
The war against the Goblins suddenly close to home, Kalia must find her place in a world very different from the one she knew. A world of fighting and fear – and a place where lovers are chosen rather than assigned. As the challenges mount, she discovers that she's not the person she thought she was. And that may be a good thing.
