Kelsey Kelly has survived dragons, mages, conspiracies, and enemies who should have been impossible to defeat.
But nothing has prepared her for Prouth.
Ancient, powerful, and utterly ruthless, the dragon has his own plans for the dwindling magic of Earth—and Kels has become an obstacle he intends to remove.
When Prouth takes her prisoner, Kels is dragged into a nightmare designed to destroy her from the inside. Again and again, she is forced to watch the people she loves die, knowing that every vision is meant to make her surrender.
Grey refuses to abandon her.
Mags and Carrow fight to bring her home.
But Kels soon realizes that brute force will never defeat a dragon like Prouth. If she wants to survive, she will have to understand him—and find the one weakness he cannot overcome.
Her answer lies somewhere Prouth never expected her to look.
Water.
As the hunt reaches its final stage, Kels devises a desperate plan that could kill the most dangerous enemy she has ever faced—or trap her beside him forever.
To defeat a dragon who seems invincible, Kels must turn his greatest weakness into a weapon.
And even victory may come at a terrible cost.
