''Exactly the kind of story that makes my romantasy-loving heart flutter'' NISHA J. TULI, bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen

She is vengeance. He will be her sword.

Dragons were myth in Ravaryn until five eggs, long thought fossils, hatched in the presence of Princess Elowen Atarah. Jealous and fearful, King Garrick imprisoned his young daughter while desperately seeking a way to break her soul-bond with the creatures.

Many years after a daring rescue freed her, Elowen is now a queen in her own right. She is ready to seek vengeance and save the precious dragons she was forced to leave behind. But to succeed she will need to ally herself with Cayden Veles, the most ruthless commander in the kingdom and her father''s sworn enemy.

Elowen initially ignores the lure of the charismatic commander but, as the plan to infiltrate King Garrick''s castle progresses, both her and Cayden find their growing desire almost impossible to resist. Can their attraction survive a daring life-or-death heist and the looming threat of war?
