"Long-banished dragons, revered as gods, return to the mortal realm in the first in this magical new epic fantasy trilogy from a bestselling author"--

Long ago humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the gods remember, and they do not forgive. Arcady, a thief, scrapes a living on the streets of Vatra. When he steals a powerful artifact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history, only Arcady knows the artifact's magic holds the key to a new life among the nobles at court and a chance for revenge. The spell connects to Everen, the last male dragon, dragging him through the Veil. Disguised as a human, Everen soon learns that to regain his true power and form and fulfill his destiny-- to save dragonkind-- he only needs to convince one little thief to trust him enough to bond completely-- and then kill them. - adapted from jacket
