Book excerpt: If you're only ever going to see yourself as a person who made a massive mistake, you'll never become anything beyond that. Since escaping royal life, Imperial Princess Redrinna has avoided anything that would force her back into the role of a princess. However, in order to continue protecting the friends she holds dear, she'll have to choose between staying hidden or facing her greatest fear head-on. Redrinna and her friends go on the hunt for another dragon but quickly discover it's missing. While searching for clues, they discover three of the Dragon Gem's chosen—River, Thala, and Leonora—and the decrepit city of Póli, a place ruled by corrupt officials once responsible for conscripting children for war. While Redrinna refuses to be something she's not—a princess—she also can't turn her back on the people. However, if she's discovered by the officials, the fate that awaits her is worse than death: she'll fall into Osiris's hands for good. In order to save them and herself, Redrinna will have to find a courage and strength she's never had or she'll lose it all.
