And anyone can be a dragon's next victim. \n\u003cbr\u003e Claire knows this all too well because the Ignition consumed her and her father, her town, and the life she thought she'd have. Now, she's scraping by on her wits as part of a sisterhood of thieves--lying, stealing, her heart locked tight--until she tracks down a disgraced dragon slayer who may be the one person who can give her back the life she once had. \n\u003cbr\u003e Abel has been shunned by the prestigious Slayers Guild for conducting research that's too...unorthodox to condone. But there's no one Claire trusts more than a rulebreaker, and that research might be the one thing that could help her. So when Abel reveals he is hunting again, Claire tries to hire him under false pretenses. Abel, however, is reluctant to accept a job from a criminal, no matter how charming she is.
