Zombies and dragons. A combination I didn't know I needed until I read this book!
Tynan is sent on a mission to retrieve a prisoner from a prison that has been overrun with crawlers as they call the zombies in this world. The prisoner is Alina. From the moment they meet there's a lot of pining. I liked the moments where they were on the run and fighting the most. Not knowing whether they were going to get out of a confrontation unscathed definitely had me holding my breath. 
Things were going so well for Tynan, Alina, and their group that I naively hoped that the uneasy feeling of dread would not come to fruition. The ending had me gasping for air, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the second part of their story.
