A dragon rider does not love – especially not her dragon. This is the beginning of the new major romantic fantasy trilogy by Spiegel bestseller author Marie Niehoff. Featuring an exclusive colored edge only in the first edition! In the army of Eldeya, the death penalty applies for three offenses: betrayal, desertion, and relationships between riders and dragon shifters. After Yessa's shifter dies in an ambush, she is assigned a new one: Cassim. The very man who knows her greatest secret and could destroy everything Yessa has built her life around. Cassim initially meets her with rejection and hatred, but the more time they spend together, the closer they become. Against all reason, trust grows between them – along with forbidden feelings. But Yessa is not the only one with secrets. While she struggles with the question of whether to break the third rule, Cassim has already broken the first.
