My father's been kidnapped.
The kidnappers demand an impossible ransom. If they don't get it in two weeks, they will kill my father.
Mama won't survive his murder. She's already fallen unconscious.
So I've pulled my assassin grandmother out of retirement.
Together, with my dragon, we're going to find the kidnappers and rescue my father.
And we're going to make those bastards pay.

Book 2
Neva didn't ask for any of this.
Neva only wants to keep her family safe – but all hope of that vanishes when her best friend, Fia, plummets out of the sky, gravely wounded, on dragonback.
“Let the dragonrider die!” her mama pleads. That would be the sure way to ensure that the army stops harassing them – but Neva can’t turn her back on her friend. Never mind that her family is holding Fia’s father captive, and Neva is forced to use her magic in this hateful work – work that is bringing war closer, every day.
But when a magical spell goes wrong, Neva’s now in danger. Worse, a new leader has emerged – one who wants to hasten the war – one who has his cold eye on Neva and Fia both.
Fia and Neva are not on the best of terms. Both of them have reason to be wary of each other as Neva tries to hasten her healing. But there has been too much between their warring families all these years. But when her father’s execution date is moved up, Fia flees – only to lose the only person who could help her rescue him.
She has two weeks to save him.
Neva has two weeks to stop her.

Book 3
Fia has two weeks to rescue her father before his execution.
She is deep in enemy territory, alone, and praying that nobody sees through her disguise.
But when they announce a special dragon race, Fia is tempted as never before. In her new disguise, she can take part in the biggest race in all of Italia, something she’d wanted to do ever since she started riding a dragon. The prize money would ensure a life of freedom for Fia, and her sisters.
Wearing the glamour of her true love, Fia navigates the world of the dragonriders.
Her enemies know she’s there – and to lure her out, one of the dragons that is flying in the race is Ryelleth – and Carmelo, her betrothed, is flying her.
Fia would walk into fire for Ryelleth. She'll be damned if she leaves without her.
Book 4
Everything is supposed to go back to normal.
Fia is supposed to pretend she never loved Salvi. That she never was targeted by the Pope and his army. That her life never was in danger.
That makes no sense to Fia.
After all, she’d dressed as a man, found freedom beyond her wildest imaginings, and won the race of a lifetime.
And then found Salvi's village burned by the Pope's dragons – many old friends dead in the ashes.
And they kidnapped her best friend.
And the Pope's army is marching toward her city, Fiorenza, to attack.
Her papa wants her to marry Carmelo. Still. After all this.
They don’t know the secret Fia is hiding.
To protect it, Fia’s going to have to make all the wrong choices.
