At the “Loving Care Children’s Home” in New York, eleven-year-old Chloe Maddox keeps her head down. The name is misleading—there is neither love nor care. Orphaned and used to gloom, Chloe is rattled the day she hiccups smoke. Digging into her file, she finds her family history blacked out except for one cryptic line hinting she might not be fully human.

Enter Vera Ingram, a recruiter for Fabergen School for Gifted Children, with staggering news: Chloe’s father was a dragon, making her the only half-dragon on Earth. Worse, an organization is hunting her to weaponize her draconic gifts. Vera offers escape: enroll at Fabergen, learn to master her power, stay safe. Chloe leaps at the chance.

Fabergen hides inside a derelict sock factory, opening onto a forest of tree-house classrooms and not-quite-human students. Chloe’s roommates include a giantess, a bed-monster, mischief-loving pixie Ryan, and tech-obsessed elf Jera. Strange as it is, Chloe finally feels she belongs.

But mastery can’t wait. If Chloe loses control, she’ll burn the school down. If her secret leaks, her hunters will endanger everyone she loves. When she discovers a captive dragon in a secret lab run by rival Nethercot Academy, the mystery deepens: the dragon is her half-brother. With Jera and Ryan, Chloe plots a rescue that spirals into deadly peril. To save her brother and herself, Chloe must face her fears, embrace her dragon heart, and find out who she truly is.
