At the bottom of the world lies a Serpent, the last of its kind.

Tess is a girl on a mission to save a friend.
Spira is a dragon seeking a new identity.

Trade Review
"Wonderful, instantly immersive and deeply affecting." —The New York Times

“Hartman deftly reflects our own world’s worries in this adventurous fantasy, but always with an eye toward hope and healing…. This is a much-needed book.” —Booklist, starred review

“Hartman’s inclusive world grapples with questions of sovereignty and colonization, religion, and gender in ways that both reflect and comment on our own world…. A compelling duology closer." —Kirkus Reviews
