Magic is outlawed in the Krael Empire and punishable by death. Born with the gift of earth magic, Halani keeps her dangerous secret closely guarded. When her uncle buys a piece of draga bone, she knows it's far more than what it seems. Dragas haven't been seen for more than a century, and most believe them extinct. They're wrong. Malachus is a draga living on borrowed time. The magic that has protected him will soon turn on him unless he finds a piece of his heritage: the piece of bone. As Malachus puts himself in danger, Halani must risk herself and all she loves to save him.
