Since the dragons came, and the plague that arrived with them, Vinguard is the only human city left. Inside its walls, anyone who might be turning into a beast can be arrested and killed, so every neighbor is a suspect. The narrator keeps her fear to herself, while Lucan, who trails her everywhere and gets under her skin, seems to be hiding secrets of his own. Their romance builds slowly under the threat.
It suits older teens and adult readers of fantasy romance who like a slow build, dragons overhead and a mystery at the center. The curse sets the rules of this world, and the suspicion it breeds drives the plot as much as the dragons do. It is a story about a city walled against dragons that cannot wall out its own fear.
