Magic suppressed. Magic exiled. Magic murdered.

For two hundred years, magic has been hunted, hidden, and nearly destroyed. Now it faces extinction.

When eight-year-old Shikara is stolen from her school by a dragon in the dead of night, she believes it's the adventure of a lifetime. But the truth is far more dangerous. She and nine other girls bearing crystal hearts have been chosen for an impossible mission: train as warriors to stop an emperor who's draining magic from the world itself.

On the mythical Isles of Jintessa, the girls must learn to bond with shapeshifting Djinn and master dragon flight. But time is running out. The ruthless apprentice Madrid has stolen dragon eggs and young Djinn women to forge his own dark army. Every captured dragon that hatches becomes another weapon in the emperor's arsenal.

As the legendary witch Marion emerges from two centuries of hiding with three baby dragons—including the supposedly extinct Opaleye—past and present collide. Led by the fierce Madame Cherise, whose husband died protecting her from the emperor's torture, the young warriors must master the ancient triad bond that merges witch, Djinn, and dragon into one consciousness.

But with magical barriers dividing the provinces and betrayal lurking in their ranks, even their combined powers may not be enough. To save magic, they must risk everything—including their lives.

The battle for Gaia's freedom has begun.
