Framed for poisoning the royal wedding wine, House Hallowyn is destroyed, leaving Sera as its sole survivor. Exiled to the Evernight Wall, she is forced to wait for a soldier to choose her as his wife. Reborn with memories of her past life, Sera knows the North is heading toward chaos—and that she once died when night dragons breached the Wall. To survive, she chooses Kael, the strongest but poorest soldier. Armed with witchfire that can sense and control plants, Sera begins lifting the Ashwood family out of hunger and poverty.
But Kael is no ordinary Watchman. His true name is Kaeldros Drakon, a man of dragon blood. As the Crimson Wedding approaches and old enemies close in, Sera awakens frozen fields, Kael takes dragon form, and the Evernight Watch marches south. This time, every blood debt will be repaid.
