Aaron Gardon never asked to become a dragon.
When an ancient force awakens something buried deep within him, Aaron discovers that the fire in his veins is not a metaphor-it's inheritance. But power without control is a weapon turned inward, and someone has been waiting four thousand years to claim it.
Petros does not believe in coincidence. He believes in ownership. And he believes Aaron belongs to him.
As a hidden tether begins pulling Aaron toward a destiny he never chose, he must learn to master the beast inside him-or be consumed by it. With the help of his fiercely loyal best friend Tyler and a mysterious guardian who knows more than she reveals, Aaron is forced into a battle where rage is easy... but control is survival.
And if Aaron cannot transform his fury into discipline, he will become exactly what his enemy needs him to be.
Power is awakening. The dragon is rising. And someone is coming to claim him.
