So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes.
There’s just one problem: a strangely persistent SeaWing, Turtle, insists on coming along, too. Turtle is worried about his friends, who left to search for Scarlet and haven’t returned.

She can’t escape her firescales, and she can’t escape her reputation as the deadliest dragon in Pyrrhia.
So when she’s offered a chance to trade everything for a new life, Peril has to decide who she’s really loyal to . . . and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.
