In the desert, the most precious resource is water. The ultimate price is death.

Sage Galvan is a disgrace to her family.

As a daughter from one of the five Houses that regulate the water supply to the Celosia desert, the death of a dragon is unthinkable. In a fiery war for water and territory, the number of dragons in a House's arsenal determines their strength. So when Sage orders her cousin to provide cover in a battle between dragonriders, she's held personally responsible after her cousin's dragon is ambushed and ripped apart.

When a new threat rises-Damon Valour, the ruthless leader of a rebellion-Sage leaps at the chance to bring him to justice. However, during an attack on her home, Sage is captured by none other than Damon himself.

With the help of a Mage using blood magic, Sage is cursed with a traitor's mark that telepathically links her to Damon. Bound by the curse, Sage finds she cannot utter a word that would expose the rebellion's whereabouts or Damon's true identity. But in a twisted scheme of his own, Damon offers Sage a deal: he'll remove the mark if she becomes his spy.

To escape being linked to a rebel forever, Sage must choose between the scheming ambitions of her family or the treacherous desire growing in her heart for the rebel that threatens everything she stands for. Because despite her best efforts Sage cannot deny that Damon is not who he seems and she cannot extinguish the fire he ignites within her.

For the readers who loved the romance of Fourth Wing and the cutthroat politics featured in House of the Dragon, DYNASTY will leave you breathless in this romantic sun-scorched adventure.
