In the kingdom of Vorgath, loyalty is measured in scars and blood. When Lia Blackheart, a dragon trainer's daughter, crosses paths with the iron-fisted King Ryker Drakmoor, their worlds collide in a storm of duty, desire, and danger. But something ancient stirs beneath the surface of their forbidden bond-something the crown fears, and prophecy warns against. As rebels rise and dragons begin to move in the skies, Lia finds herself caught between a king's command and the whisper of her own awakening power. He is the throne's most dangerous wolf. She is the one secret he was never meant to find.
