Publisher Description
Ray Cross wasn’t a hero; he could die too easily. But some things are worth risking death...
Ray Cross was born with a genetic disorder, resulting in a fragile body; his organs and blood vessels will rupture with any hard impact, so standing up to his best friend's controlling boyfriend could kill him. Ray's life in Midland, MI gets decimated when his parents reveal they are not his real parents and his real father, a king from a secret land hidden in the far north of Canada, is dying and wishes to meet his son.
With his doctor and newly-met twin, Ray travels to the forgotten village of Yardis, where magic, myth, and corruption are abundant. But the longer Ray stays in the village learning the truth of his past and reconnecting with his father, King Vintras, the more he discovers an evil force threatening the king and his village. But there’s more than the king and a village tied to Yardis and Ray. He finds friendship and more from a band of brothers who are part witch, dragon, and healer. With new alliances and new abilities, Ray wars with himself on playing it safe or risking it all to save the ones he loves.
Can Ray rise above his fragile disorder to become the hero for once in his life?

An amazing read of strength and possibilities
I was drawn into this book right from the start. Learning about Ray Cross’s genetic disorder vEDS, which certainly makes him the unlikely hero. I felt so many emotions with his story and related to the struggles and choices he had to make on a daily basis to survive.
But then, we find out he has a whole other family,a sick father and world that only he can save. You are drawn into this amazing world with everything you can imagine from beautiful dragons to witches. And so much more. Ray is destined to save this new home , but will his vEDS disorder allow him to do so, is he willing to die trying??
Cross was an amazing read. I was right there in the moments with the characters the whole time. D.A Roach has an amazing ability to pull you in and just totally fascinate you, truly a gifted writer. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
