Ayanna Grace, a seventeen-year-old, black girl, etches out a life in an abandoned subway system as part of an underground community. Ayanna survived after a wormhole opened and ushered vicious dragons into the world. These dragons burn cities to the ground.
Underground, medicine runs short, and outbreaks of disease spread uncontrollably. The water supply is low, uprisings occur frequently, and dragon attacks are imminent.
All the while, Ayanna wrestles with her feelings as she finds herself torn between her childhood friend, Richard, and a new member of the group, the mysterious Jackson.
With no hope of rescue, will Ayanna be able to save her mentor, the community’s only doctor, who is dying from a failing heart before it is too late?
