Ayshan has spent eleven years learning one lesson above all others: stay invisible. Hidden in the royal stables of Pyrrhia, the boy with midnight hair and a dragon-shaped birthmark shovels straw, soothes frightened horses, and keeps his impossible secret buried beneath plain linen - just as his mother, Queen Hardeep, commanded when she wrapped him in cloth and sent him away as an infant to protect him from a kingdom that fears what he is.

But when Ayshan discovers an ancient Calling-Bone buried in the hearth's embers, the warmth in his chest ignites into something he can no longer contain. One desperate breath through the bone sends his call thundering through the volcanic channels beneath the palace - and from the shattered courtyard stones rises Therin: a dragon of living ember and obsidian who has been waiting centuries for exactly this moment.

Now Ayshan is no longer invisible. He is a target. Fanatics flying the old Fire-Eater sigil want to use him as a rallying cry. A rigid captain of the guard wants to lock him away. A jealous prince sees him as a threat. And somewhere in the bruised purple storm clouds, the lightning dragon Grayton is hunting the brightest signature in a generation - the blood of the First Riders - determined to extinguish it before it can grow.

To survive, Ayshan must master the four shapes of his fire - calming, calling, shielding, and burning - and learn that the power of the First Rider line was never meant to be carried alone. Because the greatest magic is not in the bone, or the bond, or the birthmark. It is in the family willing to stand in the storm beside you.

An epic tale of hidden princes, ancient bonds, and a fire that cannot be silenced.
