An ancient evil is returning to threaten the world--at least, that's what one of voices in Serivak's head is telling him.As the only dragon in the kingdom and technically a prisoner of war, Serivak's position as the King's Hand via his friendship with the young king is precarious enough before the voice of one of his ancestors warned of the new threat. With the help of two young foreigners, Serivak endeavors to avert disaster--but as evidence of a conspiracy grows, his political enemies close to home may be even more dangerous.

The unforgettable conclusion to New York Times, USA Today and internationally bestselling author Julie Kagawa’s Iron Fey series. The Iron Prince—my nephew—betrayed us all. He killed me. Then, I woke up. Waking after a month on the brink of death, Ethan Chase is stunned to learn that the Veil that conceals the fey from human sight was temporarily torn away. Although humankind's glimpse of the world of Faery lasted just a brief moment, the human world was cast into chaos, and the emotion and glamour produced by fear and wonder has renewed the tremendous power of the Forgotten Queen. Now she is at the forefront of an uprising against the courts of Faery—a reckoning that will have cataclysmic effects on the Nevernever. Leading the Lady’s Forgotten Army is Keirran himself: Ethan’s nephew, and the traitor son of the Iron Queen, Meghan Chase. To stop Keirran, Ethan must disobey his sister once again as he and his girlfriend, Kenzie, search for answers long forgotten. “Julie Kagawa is one killer storyteller.” —MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog “The Iron King has the…enchantment, imagination and adventure of… Alice in Wonderland, Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, but with lots more romance.” —Justine magazine “Fans of the first ‘Iron Fey’ series will be interested in seeing Meghan and her family again, while new readers will find enough detail to help them jump right in and enjoy the magic, adventure, and touch of romance.” —School Library Journal on The Lost Prince

"Stay away from the surface world!" That's what Hiro told himself. In fact, that's what he teaches young dragons now. Humans are dangerous, violent, and evil - best to avoid. That's all Hiro wants now, too. Until a human shows up in his lair and ruins everything! Princess Anna tricks Tog, Hiro's best friend, into sneaking her back into Hiro's life. Even with the story of a dangerous creature attacking, Hiro refuses her pleas for help. But when the dragons learn that previous involvement with the humans has dire lasting effects, Hiro is forced to investigate. With death sweeping over the land, Hiro's intervention discovers possibilities none could imagine - least of all, him.

Heart broken and body in turmoil. Human armies surrounding his home. Treacherous faeries creating dragon poison. Hiro is desperate for the survival of the dragons. But, as Rakgar says, "it will be interesting to see how a mere animal prepares for war..." He's right and Hiro knows it. Even a visit to the seer dragon, Visi, only produces more questions. When the centaurs offer their help, Hiro gladly accepts. But everyone knows it won't be nearly enough. Surely, more dragons will come to aid the Rock Cloud Ruck. Surely, more dragons will realize the danger the faeries present. Surely, something can be done to save the dragons before it's too late. Unfortunately, Hiro can't even save himself.
