Tahlia was looking forward to her eighteenth birthday and the Ashwalk -- the sacred rites of the dragonkin that allowed them to take their dragon form and bonded them to their eternal mate. Certain it was going to be her best friend in the world, Konrad, Tahlia instead found herself bonded to Triten, the heir to the Ashenfather. But, when her new mate betrays her, Tahlia finds herself whisked off to become a Drakesworn, guard to Triten and his family. Including his father, Lorid, the current Ashenfather and widower. As she works to protect him, a threat to all dragonkin continues to sweep through their ranks, and Tahlia finds herself getting closer and closer to Lorid with every passing day. Can she resist this attraction that she shouldn't have for the father of her mate? Or will she find the control she's always been so proud of crumbled to nothing.

Believing herself useless, Keira has tried her best to do as she was told and stay out of the way of harm. Until the Luna tells her they were going to have a guest: Alpha Black of the Blackwood pack. And Keira was his entertainment.
