After the machinations of a creepy mother, two all-knowing prophets and a bunch of bloodthirsty relatives, Julius doesn't want to see dragons. Unfortunately for him, the only thing more dangerous than being a useless Heartstriker is being useful, and now that he knows the Three Sisters, Julius has become a key pawn in Bethesda's game to take her clan to the top. Refusing to play along with his mother's plans means death, but there's more going on , than even Bethesda knows, and Estella returned to the game with a thirst for revenge. The future of the Heartstrikers is lost, the dragon hunter Algonquin is closer, and the stakes are higher than even the prophet can calculate. But when the family's strongest members begin to drop like flies, Julius must defend the clan that disrespected him and prove that sometimes the world's worst dragon is better off by his side.
