Some secrets can't be hidden under a stack of swords and armor or behind a shelf of rolled maps. They live and breathe, demanding to be seen and heard. Squad leader Cordella Gandomilford has always been fearless on the battlefield, but facing her commander, Boden Marks, is another matter entirely. For Boden, the squad leader is no longer the snarky, affectionate woman he once knew. The stranger in her place keeps him at arm's length, even as he can't seem to look away. For Cordella, every moment near Boden risks revealing the truth-one that would shatter what little connection remains with the man who once loved her. Years of silence and avoidance come crashing down when a royal decree forces them to work together to secure more dragons. Without dragons and a strong team leading them, the realm is at the mercy of their enemies. The decimation of Shartres looms. The stakes are too high to fail, but every step closer to their goal brings them closer to a confrontation Cordella has spent years avoiding. The realm needs dragons. The squad needs unity. And Cordella and Boden must find a way to work together-before the storm outside matches the one brewing within. Read this second book in the epic dragon romantasy Fifth Flight.
