I knew a thing or two about how death worked. So when I was finally taken down during a high-profile hit, I was ready to embrace death with open arms. Except I didn’t fully die. Not yet, at least. Some crazy afterlife system seems to have had me on its radar for a while now, and I’ve just been recruited to kill my way through a whole different world like it is a demented video game.

We've survived one semester of deadly trials, but darker forces are gathering within these ancient walls. We're all guarding secrets. All hiding bitter truths. And while hunting for the truth may put my life at risk, it won't stop me from trying. Who killed my sister? Why is the stone I've kept hidden suddenly cracking?

Fate has spoken and I can no longer fight the inevitable pull towards the men destined to be mine. I'm desperate to find them – to know they're safe – to hold them in my arms. But I'm not the only one searching. Tales of my existence – of my powers – mean once again I'm on the run. Only this time I don't know who I'm running from.

The more I discover about my mysterious past, the deeper I'm pulled into a web of mysteries, secrets and lies. And the more I'm pulled towards the men fate has destined are mine. Well fate can go to hell. I can't forget the way they've treated me and I certainly can't forgive the hurt. I won't give in to my feelings no matter how much they plead.

On August 6, 1945 the United States showed the world the results of their secret Manhattan Project, and the Japanese city of Hiroshima was destroyed with a cataclysm of fire by a pair of three-hundred-ton dragons they hatched, grew, and trained in the desert. With the unstoppable power of dragons on our side, World War 2 came to a quick end.

Now it’s 2025, the Cold War is still raging, the world is on the brink, and America’s best defense is still its dragons.

You could call Dax a lot of things: a criminal, a rogue, a con man, a murderer… Even a bastard. He’s one of the thousands of bastard children of the Galaxy’s absolute monarch, after all. But one thing you couldn’t call him is political. Dax never has cared about the Monarchy or any of the various rebel groups. All he cares about is his ship, his next payout, and staying one step ahead of the law, but unfortunately… politics cares about Dax. A lot. So what's the rogue son of an all-powerful emperor supposed to do when the system brands him a criminal and rebel?

Secret memories locked in my head, an assassin on my tail, and strange powers I shouldn't possess are the least of my problems. Because now I'm bonded to a man I barely know.
