Description
A CURSED HEIR.
A FORGOTTEN PAST.
A MAN WHOSE BLOOD HOLDS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING SHE WAS MEANT TO FORGET.
Three hundred years ago, dragons were hunted to extinction, along with the royal bloodlines they once protected. Or so the world believes.
When Ruby Ahern learns that the tyrant king not only wants to appoint her brother as duke, but also wants to marry her off to his bloodthirsty general, she makes a bold decision: she flees.
But on the night of her escape, she witnesses the impossible - the king gives her brother a dragon egg.
Desperate for answers, Ruby steals the egg and disappears, into a world of hidden rebellion, ancient secrets, and a secret dragon society led by a man whose fire unsettles her more than she'd like to admit.
But who can she trust? The king is not who he seems to be, and Ruby becomes entangled in a web of centuries-old lies and a war she never asked to fight.
A stolen egg. An ancient bond. And the power to reignite a war that never truly ended.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn romantic fantasy, ancient magic, and stories where the past never stays buried.
