Dragon Cursed — Elise Kova

The moment you see a dragon is usually your last…

Since the dragons emergedâ€"along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and peopleâ€"there's only one human city that remains standing: Vingard.

But the hellfire from above is nothing compared to he threat from within. For there is no worse fate than being Dragon Cursed. Slowly and excruciatingly, you'll be transformed into a mindless beast who destroys everythingâ€"and everyoneâ€"you love.

Any of us could be tainted. Any of us could be lying. Any of us could be caught and killed by the authorities.

And I'm terrified that I might be next.

There's only one other person who might suspect my secret. He's like my shadow, following me wherever I go. Part protector, part tormentor, fully annoying. Sometimes I think I am just one of the million unfathomable secrets he keeps hidden.

Because Lucan definitely knows something.

And if I'm Dragon Cursed, death might be the only mercy I get.
