Dragon Cursed

From the #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Arcana Academy comes the first in a new, heart-pounding fantasy duology, about a young woman who must survive a score of brutal tests and trials to escape her cursed fate. The moment you see a dragon is usually your last... Since the dragons emerged - along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and people - only one human city remains standing: Vingard. But the hellfire from above is nothing compared to the threat from within. For there is no worse fate than being Dragon Cursed, doomed to transform into a mindless beast and destroy everything you love. Anyone could be tainted. Anyone could be lying. Including me. Only one person suspects my secret. Lucan. Part protector, part tormentor, fully annoying. My shadow, he follows me wherever I go, although sometimes I think I am only one of millions of dangerous secrets he keeps hidden. Because Lucan knows something. And if I'm Dragon Cursed, death might be the only mercy I get . . .
