A New York Times bestseller!
"A white-knuckle rush." --Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Coldwire and These Violent Delights

An airship's crash landing frees the deadly mythical creature hidden aboard, leaving the girl who smuggled it and the rest of the survivors to be hunted in revenge in this "swashbuckling" (Publishers Weekly) young adult fantasy adventure from New York Times bestselling author Scott Reintgen.

When an airship's windmaster dies mid-flight, the crew and its passengers are swept out to sea by a violent storm. They crash on a desolate island, but they're not alone. A dragoness had been stashed in the hold. After escaping a damaged cage, it begins preying on the surviving travelers in the hopes of remaining free.

The stranded group's best chance of making it home alive is the young woman who smuggled the dragoness on board in the first place--and the mysterious teen boy who was led onto the ship in chains before takeoff. Both have secrets that could help them survive on the island...but those same secrets could deliver a death sentence if they ever make it home.
