A scar in the bone : a novel / by Jordan, Sophie,author.;
"It's been a year since Tamsyn transformed. From royal whipping girl in the palace of Penterra to the bride of Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands. From the enemy in the Beast's bed to the wife he sacrificed himself to save. From an ordinary girl ... to a dragon. And not just any dragon -- a powerful fire-breather ... and the best hope to keep magic from flickering out forever. With Fell gone, torn from her side in the dangerous swirling mists of the Crags, Tamsyn is heartbroken and alone among the dragon pride. An unwelcome outsider still learning to survive in this fiery skin of hers within a new cutthroat society, she trains in the arena until her muscles burn and her blood spills. Slowly, Tamsyn forges herself into a warrior in the shadow of Fell's enigmatic brother, Vetr, whose silver eyes track her with distrust ... and maybe something more. But is Fell truly beyond her reach? Their bond pulls at her, as fiercely as the drive to protect both humans and dragonkind from the growing threat posed by Stig, once her closest friend, now a relentless enemy determined to hunt her down and destroy her -- and with her, all things magic. Magic stirs in the darkness, strengthening all who believe in it. But will it be enough to save Tamsyn, the pride, the kingdom ... and a fiery love fated to endure for centuries, as deep as a scar in the bone?"--

Because I need someone I trust to teach me what it means to be a Timekeeper.

Because there might not be enough forgiveness in the world for what I've done -- and what I am about to do. Because the secrets are more terrible than I thought. The reality is even more horrifying. And I'll do whatever it takes to find out the truth about Gray Wolf Academy, the strange billionaire who runs it, and not only why he's so invested in traveling -- or "Tripping" -- through time, but what his real plans are. And time's almost up.
