I never should've taken the dare.

My father has three rules to survive the apocalypse; keep your head down, work hard, and never leave the safety of Harbor. Following his rules isn't as easy as it seems - especially when tricked into breaking them by the dangerous but alluring Tainted - mutated humans with a penchant for abduction.

Attending at party outside of the walls didn't seem so bad - until it all blew up in my face and my own people betrayed me, leaving me in the clutches of my worst nightmare. A Tainted dragon lord. I thought I know who my enemies were, but I was wrong. That's why I never saw it coming.

The death. The lies. The complete betrayal.

No one said love wouldn't destroy you.
