The fearsome creature
came from across Drukkar’s Sea…and there was a rider on its back.
As a scholar in
Dothik’s library, Klara has spent her life trying to understand the strange
dreams that have plagued her since she was a child—visions of dragons and a
world with no written record. Rejected by her royal bloodline after her
mother’s death, Klara hides her chilling secret, knowing her rare magic could
get her killed.
But when a dragon
suddenly appears in Dothik, those dreams become a monstrous reality.
Sarkin Dirak’zar,
king of the Sarrothian horde, cares only about finding heartstones—the
dwindling power source for their revered dragons. Ice-cold and merciless, the
last thing Sarkin wants is a wife, especially a weak and unwanted princess who
likely won’t last one night on dragonback. Yet the key to acquiring heartstones
lies in Klara’s visions, and so he gives her a cruel choice: marry him to save
her people…or let Dothik burn.
Her first duty as
queen? Claim a dragon of her own. What’s even more alarming is that unexpected
desire begins to simmer with her beguiling but guarded husband...even though
his barbed cage of a heart is only meant to keep her away.
You should have read
the other books in the original series before reading this one. There are
things you will not understand if you haven’t read them. Otherwise it will feel
like you are dumped in the middle of a story. Other than this the story flowed
nicely and was engaging. The build up between MMC and FMC was amazing to read
and I liked how it all played out.
