As Malachus the hunter becomes the hunted, Halani must risk herself and all she loves to save him from the Empire\'s machinations and his own lethal birthright..
Unbeknownst to both, the Empire\'s twisted empress searches for a draga of her own, to capture and kill as a trophy.
He has tracked it to a group of free traders, among them a grave-robbing earth witch who fascinates him as much as she frustrates him with her many secrets.

Malachus is a draga living on borrowed time.
Dragas still walk among the denizens of the Empire, disguised as humans.
They\'re wrong.

When her uncle buys a mysterious artifact, a piece of bone belonging to a long-dead draga, Halani knows it\'s far more than what it seems.
Born with the gift of earth magic, the free trader Halani keeps her dangerous secret closely guarded.
Magic is outlawed in the Krael Empire and punishable by death.
