For nine years, Mira Vosk has dived the black water of a dying volcanic lake, sieving the powdered dragon-scale that fuels every ward, hearth-fire, and healing rune in the Cindral Reach — the same drowned island chain where the Concord wiped out the last wild dragons a century ago, and has controlled every legal grain of magic that survived them ever since.
Then her hand finds a seam in the rock that shouldn't exist.
Behind it: a sealed chamber, a century of stale air, and a single egg still warm. What hatches from it upends the only life Mira has ever known — an orphaned diver with no family name worth claiming, no standing, and now a secret large enough to get her killed. Raising a creature the Concord would destroy on sight means stolen rations, unlicensed runes, and a growing pile of lies to the one woman who's ever looked out for her.
It also means crossing paths with Rennick Thale, the Concord Emberwarden who has just arrived on her island with two words on his orders — wild sign — and every reason to be the last person on the Reach Mira can trust.
But Rennick is carrying a grief of his own the Concord never accounted for, and the closer he looks, the less the official history of the Reach's founding adds up. Because the dragons weren't only killed a hundred years ago. Some were hidden. And the people who hid them broke every law they'd sworn to uphold rather than finish the job.
