A BOND AND A PROPHECY CAN BRING A KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES.

Possession of dragon contraband in the Arterian kingdom guarantees one thing: a brutal execution.

When twenty-two-year-old Katerina Blackwind finds a dragon egg buried in her father’s grave, her world begins to unravel. She’s tasked with returning the forbidden dragon hatchling—Daeja—north to the secretive Dragon Lands where dragons roam free and a rebellion group resides.

But she can’t do it on her own. Smuggling a dragon hatchling across the realm during a war between Arterians and rebels means she can be killed by either side. She knows there’s only one person she can truly trust—her old flame, Cole Ashbourne.

Yet, Cole is much different than the last time Kat saw him: deliciously chiseled in all the right places with a raw power lingering beneath the surface. Cole is torn between his responsibilities as a newly-promoted Captain in the King’s military and his heart.

Kat works on a plan to get Daeja to the Dragon Lands while keeping a low profile at one of the King’s military outposts. Though, having a room next to the sinisterly provocative and kingdom’s best swordsman, Darian Raventhorn, proves to be anything but easy.

Danger lurks at every turn and as more secrets are unearthed, Kat is left to question everything she thought she knew about dragons, her family, love, and the kingdom.

BOOK 1 SPOILERS BELOW!

secrets never die.

they're just buried in a grave.

Katerina Blackwind and Daeja have made it to the Dragon Lands. It should have been the solution to their freedom.

Instead, it’s only the beginning.

The King is closing in—desperate for the one thing Kat possesses. The one thing he’ll tear the entire kingdom apart to claim. The one thing that’s been missing for ages.

Worse, Kat is caught between two men who broke her trust. Cole, whose lie shattered her heart. And Darian, who’s isn’t just hiding the truth…he is the enemy. With betrayal from every angle, Kat must decide who—if anyone—she can trust before it’s too late.

But the secrets of the past lie in a place where no one has set foot in for over a century. Guarded by magic and buried under years of forgotten history and bloodshed.

If Kat fails to uncover the truth in time, the last of the dragons—and everyone she loves—will be lost forever.
