She can't remember. He can't forget.

Once a powerful warrior, Grey's greatest battle now is with his out-of-control magic. What empowers him to remember everything also threatens to imprison him in his most horrific moments. He yearns for peace, but with the dragon sorcerer, the Handmaiden, missing, he has nowhere to turn. So when someone ransacks the sorcerer's chambers, he agrees to investigate, hoping he'll find her. What he didn't count on was having to work with an agent of the Dragon Court, who instantly captivates and soothes his writhing memories but endangers everyone he holds dear.

Tortured with a lack of memory, Ivy wakes each day not knowing who she is and having to learn again and again that she's the servant of an insane prince. All she wants is freedom. When she's assigned to the case of the Handmaiden's chambers and encounters Grey, she realizes she can use his secrets to force him to help her escape... if she can just ignore how he makes her feel.

But they soon discover the Handmaiden has hidden a dangerous, powerful magic, and the first key to finding it has been stolen. Now they must put their desires aside and race against time, risking everything, to save dragonkind and each other.
