Do not shine your light. Do not reveal your magic. Do not draw the Fae’s attention.

And never, ever, run from my dragon.

Warlord Jaxxon Hammer is a dragon rider with shadow magic. Hunted by the vampiric Vralgari Fae, he fights to protect his men and Celestial dragons—together, they are the last of their kind. Jaxxon is determined to reclaim Crelentia, a land of shadows and light. When he learns Prince Aeralis of the Vralgari seeks a powerful artifact, he risks everything to find it first. Instead, he finds Tiara, an ambitious twenty-year-old whose magic could change their destiny. Their fiery attraction is undeniable. Will protecting her bring his end or his victory?

Tiara wants to master her hidden elemental magic. She’ll hustle, steal, and fight to escape her harsh life. Fleeing to Crelentia with an agenda, Jaxxon’s strict rules stand in her way. The handsome raider may be as dangerous as the Fae and dragons. Can she survive a world of myths and monsters without losing her life—or heart?

On a quest to unlock ancient magic, will they restore the Crelentians as Protectors of the Celestial Realms, or will the Vralgari send them into darkness?
