Dragon Cursed
Elise Kova
She might be dragon cursed — and the only one who knows her secret is the infuriating boy who won't leave her side.
Description
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.
