A dragon’s legacy meets a senior-year curse

Kat’s discovery that she is one of the shapeshifting dragons her grandmother described transforms a familiar school year into a struggle shaped by prophecy and an ancient curse. The stakes extend beyond Kat: the curse forces others to serve tyrannical kings, whose plans threaten war and destruction across Earth. With friends old and new beside her, she must learn to use her dragon nature while facing the possibility that the curse could claim her too. The fantasy premise connects self-discovery with questions of agency, solidarity, and resisting coercive power.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fantasy centered on dragons and shapeshifting.
  • Readers seeking a young adult story with LGBTQ+ subject classification.

Book overview

Our only hope is the hope we forge ourselves

Kat always thought her grandma's stories of Rhaegynne - shapeshifting dragons - were just fairytales. But that all changes when her grandma is killed, and she learns that not only are they real, but she is one.

 

A prophecy and a curse set in motion ages ago have now turned Kat's quiet senior year into chaos. What was supposed to be a gift becomes a tool for breaking a curse that forces others to serve tyrannical kings who will use them to wage war and destruction across Earth.

 

But hope . . . is more stubborn than a curse.

 

Fighting alongside friends new and old, Kat must learn to harness the heart of the dragon in order to break the curse, destroy the kings, and save the dragons. All before succumbing to the curse herself.

 

Honestly? It'll be a breeze compared to calculus.
