Per tradition, Kirek must undergo the distasteful task of using a mysterious gem called the Heartstone to shift into human form and maintain the strained ties between the species . . . and study human weaknesses, a new and secret task she's been given by her queen. As the princess and the dragon girl grow closer, they are sent to investigate a potential breach of the treaty and encounter a plot that could reignite an even bloodier war. While fighting to maintain the peace their ancestors fought for and uncovering centuries-old secrets, Samansa and Kirek must grapple with betraying their clashing nations . . . or their unexpected feelings for each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A master of twisty, imaginative YA fantasy, Strickland delivers everything you could want and more: succession drama; awesome dragon battles; and a romance with the slow, intense burn of dragon fire and the sweetness of first love. \u003cb\u003eBy turns full of rage and tenderness, \u003ci\u003eLady Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e is sweeping, affirming, and completely unputdownable\u003c\/b\u003e.\" --Allison Saft, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times-\u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eA Fragile Enchantment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA.M.
