Season of the Dragon

SILVER MEDALIST IN THE 2023 READERS' FAVORITE AWARDS!

When a dragon destroys Quen's life, she joins a band of rogues and mages hunting it. But Quen soon discovers she is the one being hunted in this Season of the Dragon.

Quen was born cursed with two souls—one human, the other a changeling. Sensing the oddity within her, animals run from Quen making her a misfit in her nomadic herding culture. Quen has failed to match with a herdclan. At nearly twenty, she's at risk of becoming pesha—no one.

Then, a dragon attacks Quen's village, leaving her life a charred ruin. Fueled by her quest for vengeance, Quen joins a group of vigilantes hunting the dragon. She finds kindred spirits—and the possibility of love. But she'll lose her newfound family, too, if they discover her secret.

As their hunt spans the realm, Quen's journey soon reveals a terrible truth: her dark secret has caught the attention of dangerous eyes. And now, she has become the hunted.

Quen and her companions must face a power-hungry ruler, a shadowy dragon cult, and even an esteemed leader of a school of magic—all vying to control her growing power. But Quen's fiercest battle lies within as she struggles to maintain control of her own skin.

At the end of Quen's journey, her fate will be sealed.

Will Quen overcome her curse and unite her warring souls? Or will her phantom soul consume her—and everyone she loves—in this Season of the Dragon?

The fate of her loved ones—and her world—hangs in the balance.
