Season of the Dragon

Born cursed with a second, shadow soul, Quen is a misfit among her people. Animals sense her curse and avoid her, an untenable trait in her nomadic herding culture. Unfit for binding with a clan, Quen's only hope for an honorable life is to study at a magic school.

As Quen awaits an envoy from the school of water magic where her father studied, a stranger arrives riding a giant black wolf. The mysterious woman delivers a dire prophecy about Quen.

The stranger's visit begins a cascade of events that results in Quen leaving her home village with a band of vigilantes to hunt a dragon. But as Quen hunts the beast, she soon discovers that she is the hunted as factions vie to control the power that grows inside her.

From the sweeping sands of the southern desert to the largesse of the northern capital, join Quen's journey. Along the way, she'll gather a found family and experience her first love—and face high-stakes choices that will change her world forever.
