Altronne is the Last City, harried from within by a society of vandals, muckrakers, and killers who call themselves the Dandelion Knight. The Champions are Altronne's defenders, and Mireille Absolon is their newest recruit -- her body and mind made superhuman, her memories taken to keep her from using her new power for herself. Much is not well in Altronne. The shadow government that controls the Champions has bloodily ousted its own leader; a capitalist-prince who funds sedition has eluded the police; the strange beings that support the city's unstable geology have begun to slip their chains. And the Dandelion Knight wants to give Mireille her memories back. No strings attached. It's too good to be true, of course. But tampering with the Champions is high mischief -- and with high mischief come great spoils for the Champion who thwarts the plot...

It's been six years since Zaya Shearwater lost her wife and her dragon in the most dangerous race in Yemareir. She's retired from the dragon-racing circuit, supporting her family as a security guard on long-haul trade expeditions... until she comes back one night to discover that her newly adopted daughter, Vanako, has been dealing for a mob boss. Worse, she owes him a sky-high sum of money for lost product. And there's not much he wouldn't do - to Vanako, to Zaya, or to anyone in their family - to get it back. Zaya doesn't want to go back to the racing circuit. She doesn't have a trained dragon, she doesn't have anyone to ride with, and she thought she'd put those memories of pain and loss away. But even if she does ride again... after six years away from the scene, can she win what she needs in time to pay what she owes?
