Betrayal cuts deep. Truth cuts deeper.

As the empire's most celebrated dragonrider, Jin thought her mission was simple: assassinate the blood-bonded traitor Mengkhis Lai before he could ever wake from his mage-induced sleep.

But events at the Well of Fire go terribly wrong. Buried with the man she was supposed to kill, Jin begins to question everything-especially when Mengkhis claims the empress meant for them both to die.

Escaping the Well is only the beginning. Injured and forced to publicly lie about killing Mengkhis, Jin must decide whether to trust the word of the man she was trained to destroy-or risk being silenced forever by the empire that made her a hero. When Jin is put into training with the Royal Veil, the empire's secret police, Jin decides to uncover the truth behind the mission that nearly killed her, and put an end to Mengkhis once and for all.

But the deeper Jin goes, the more she suspects the empress's motives. Jin uncovers plots, secrets, and a destiny far greater-and more dangerous-than she imagined.

Her enemies want her dead.

Her allies want absolute loyalty, even at the price of love.

And the one person who may hold the answers... is the one she must kill to earn her freedom.

Full of intrigue, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between dragon and rider, Dragon Rogue is a soaring continuation of the Riders of Jade & Fire series that will leave you breathless until the final page.
