Peril has always been loyal. First to Queen Scarlet, even when she used Peril's fatal firescales to kill countless dragons in her violent SkyWing arena. Now Peril is loyal to Clay, the only dragonet who has ever been her friend. So when Scarlet threatens Jade Mountain Academy and everything Clay cares about, Peril sets off to find her former queen, stop her, and save the day, no matter what it takes. But on the way, Peril is offered a chance at a completely new life, free of her firescales and the pain they've brought her. All she has to do is decide where her loyalty really belongs... and whether her own scales might actually be worth saving.
