Synopsis

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Now optioned for film by Amazon MGM Studios!The moment you see a dragon is usually your last … Since the dragons emerged—along with the scourge that ravaged our lands and people—there’s only one human city that remains standing: Vingard. But the hellﬁre from above is nothing compared to the infection that threatens us all. For there is no worse fate than being Dragon Cursed. Slowly and excruciatingly, you’ll be transformed into a mindless beast who destroys everything—and everyone—you love. Any of us could be tainted. Any of us could be lying. Any of us could be caught and killed by the authorities. And I’m terriﬁed that I might be next. There’s only one other person who might suspect my secret. He’s like my shadow, following me wherever I go. Part protector, part tormentor, fully annoying. Sometimes I think I am just one of the million unfathomable secrets he keeps hidden. Because Lucan deﬁnitely knows something. And if I’m Dragon Cursed, death might be the only mercy I get.

Unfortunately, Dragon Cursed disappointed me in quite a few ways, even though......more

WOW. WOW. WOW. Listen... I am not usually a YA reader. In fact, I normally side-eye YA like, "Sure, kiddo, tell me about your dramatic high school heartbreak." But this book? THIS BOOK. It grabbed me by the collar, sat me down, and said, "You're not going anywhere." I was turning pages faster than my c......more

Goodreads review by CozyDreamsStudio on January 05, 2026

**review based off e-arc from Entangled Publishing & NetGalley** I had a really hard time deciding between 2 and 3 stars. The concept of this story seems really interesting. It has all the makings of a great book. But I didn’t like the characters, the writing, or the plot. In this world, humanity has......more

They go through so many trials and then everything comes to a head and you are hoping for the best. The cliff hanger......more
