When the bond between humans and dragons is severed, hope lives in the eyes of a girl who sees more than anyone else can.

In a world where dragons have disappeared and the skies have fallen silent, an ancient pact between humans and dragonkind is broken. Kayla, a young orphan raised on the outskirts of a forgotten village, discovers that ancient legends are not only real, but vital. When she sets out into the icy mountains, driven by a dark dream and a hollow spark of faith, she finds not a fearsome beast but a blind dragon named Merrin—the last of his kind.

Merin cannot see, but he experiences the world through Kayla's eyes, forging a bond deeper than magic. Together, they must rekindle the First Flame, uncover the truth behind the Iron Crown's betrayal, and rally people and dragons against the shadows engulfing the land.

But as Kayla's powers awaken and Merrin's memories return, they realize that the path to restoring the Covenant requires sacrifice—and the courage to burn even in the darkness.
