Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser. Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George. Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey--and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him--and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

Not just for young adults. submitted by DeeFisher on July 22, 2019, 11:23am Any time I see a lot of teens reading a book series, I read them too. When an author can generate enthusiasm for reading, it has to be good.

Kagawa has that perfect blend of teen rite of passage in defying authority, coming of age, learning to trust, all rolled up with an added bonus of the mystical dragon.

Severely underrated submitted by sbeegees on August 14, 2019, 11:28pm If you haven't read this, you MOST DEFINITELY should. It's truly one of the most underrated books I have ever read.
