Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova

The moment you see a dragon is usually your last . . .

Since the dragons emerged – along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and people – there’s only one human city that remains standing: Vingard.

But the hellfire from above is nothing compared to the 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 everything – and everyone – 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.

The new swoon-worthy young adult romantasy from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Elise Kova, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing.
