Ileth, 15 ans, est maintenant une apprentie Dragoneuse, avec tous les avantages et les pièges que son élévation en grade comporte. Elle a survécu à de nombreux défis pour passer à l’étape suivante de sa formation, faisant le tour de l’Académie Serpentine pour en apprendre tous les aspects. Mais son avancement devient moins certain après qu’elle ait été attaquée par un ennemi inconnu, et Ileth commence à soupçonner que quelqu’un de mortel pourrait se cacher entre les murs de l’académie.

A l’extérieur des murs, le défi est tout autre. Les Rari, un groupe de pirates, renforcent leurs forces. Ce qui leur manque en puissance de feu des dragons, ils le compensent par la brutalité de leurs raids toujours plus nombreux. Entourée d’ennemis, Ileth devra apprendre quel genre de dragonnier elle veut être. Et tandis qu’elle prend des décisions sur son avenir, Ileth aura la chance de découvrir les secrets de son passé. Les deux changeront irrévocablement le cours de sa vie.

But her advancement becomes less certain after a she’s attacked by an unknown enemy, and Ileth begins to suspect that someone deadly may be hiding within the walls of the academy.

Outside of the walls there is a different challenge. The Rari, a group of pirates, are strengthening their forces. What they lack in dragon firepower, they make up for in the brutality of their ever-expanding raids. Surrounded by enemies, Ileth will need to learn what kind of dragoneer she wants to be. And as she makes decisions about her future, Ileth will have the chance to uncover the secrets of her past. Both will irrevocably change the course of her life.
