    House of the Dragon meets African mythology in a kingdom where dragon gods rule the earth and sky. Chosen by both gods, one girl must use her powers to usher in a new era—but will it be one of bloodshed or peace? From the New York Times bestselling author of Skin of the Sea.

    After saving the Kingdom of Kwa, Moremi thought her problems were behind her. But as Kwa’s new ruler, her greatest challenges are just beginning. The dragon gods have tasked her with uniting the people, while also introducing their daughter, a brand-new god, to the world.

    And Moremi can handle it: she has her advisors and her childhood friend, Nox. She has the magic of two dragons in her veins and a third at her side . . . yet all the power in the world can’t protect her from Kwa’s exiled prince. Because when she hears of Jagun’s upcoming wedding to the princess of a neighboring kingdom, even the gods can’t save Moremi from having to attend.

    Between Moremi’s history with Jagun and her own confused heart, uniting their kingdoms feels less and less likely. And as tensions rise, Moremi must decide what kind of leader she will be. Because with a new god on her shoulder—together they could remake this new world . . . or raze what’s left of it to the ground.
