Adam has never been sick a day in his life. He has never once felt the cold. There is a fire in his chest he cannot explain, and somewhere along the way, he stopped asking why.
He is twenty-two, an orphan with a bike he rides across Manhattan for tips and a wooden box he has carried since the night everything else was taken from him. It has never opened. He stopped trying years ago.
Then a girl with silver hair finds him on a fire escape, four minutes ahead of the men sent to kill him. She calls him by a name he has never heard.
The truth, when it finally comes, is older than he is. Older than the city. It arrives with enemies who have hunted dragon blood for longer than he has been alive, allies he has no reason to trust, and a war a hidden Council has been fighting, quietly, for a thousand years.
Dragon Blood is the first novel in The Drakonian Wars, an epic fantasy about an inheritance no one asked for, and the boy who has to decide whether to carry the weight of a name that was taken from him.
