Only the Worthy may receive the Gift. All Others Feed the Fire.But the Law is built on a lie.Luca is the Roar, an un-Touched boy with the raw power of creation screaming in his veins-a power he can barely control, one that threatens to burn him to ash from the inside out.

They soon learn the greatest deception is not that dragons rule, but why. The magic was never a gift to be given; it was a birthright that was stolen.He is the fire. She is the rudder.
