When sixteen-year-old Elena Watkins discovered Paegeia, she also found out that dragons and magic are real. Not only does she have to learn how to do spells and wield weapons, she must tame a dragon of her own if she wants to graduate from the Dragonia Academy. She feels lost and unsure about everything. But when the King of Lions sword goes missing, she steps up and becomes one of nine pupils hoping to find it, and hopes to prove that she has what it takes to become a dragon rider and perhaps that she does belong in the world of Paegeia.

The gods are dying. But for one man, death is only the beginning.

Murdered as a ritual sacrifice, amateur thief and professional charmer Dustin Graves mysteriously survives, finding himself gifted with strange, dark magic. Then more dead bodies turn up. Some are human, but one is a god of the old world, slain at his own doorstep.

Mortal or divine, the bloodshed must end, and Dust is the mage for the job. But first he must contend with a succubus, a talking sword, a spider queen, a goddess of magic, and eldritch abominations from beyond the stars. No big deal… right?
