Princess Lyra of Asterion is usurped by her stepmother, falsely accused of patricide, stripped of her crown and cast into the arena as a slave. Humiliated, auctioned off and forced to fight beasts and men on bloody sand, she awakens Nyxar, a black dragon bound by chains. From that night, she no longer merely survives. She will return mounted on her dragon, burn down the throne, and reclaim her city.
