Akrist has done the impossible-bonded with a dragon-and word is spreading.

Betrayed, broken, and banished, Akrist is left to wander the wilderness in search of his lost love, Yara. But he's not alone. Against all odds, he has bonded with Nardiri, one of the world's last dragons.

In this stunning sequel to Under the Lesser Moon, author Shelly Campbell brings us the heart-wrenching conclusion to Akrist's journey. In a cruel, unforgiving world, Akrist must navigate what it means to be marked as both a Speaker-a leader chosen by Nasheira herself-and an outcast. Haunted by the sacrifices of first-born sons, he fears the world cannot be changed, even with a dragon's help. But if he does nothing, the cycle of sacrifice will begin again when the moons touch.
