Bound by war. Destined by prophecy. Consumed by a bond she refuses to accept. Xyra Vaelthorne was meant to be a wolf queen in her own land, not a bride sacrificed to her enemy. But when the Blood Oath binds her to Vaeren Drakarion, the ruthless dragon prince, she swears she will never yield. Yet the bond demands more. It burns, it punishes, it craves consummation. “You will surrender, Xyra.” He growls behind her ears, so close that she could feel the heat. “I’d rather burn.” She replied, looking at him with defiance. “Then burn…for me.” He said in finality. But rejecting Vaeren comes at a price—one that could tear kingdoms apart. And when war ignites, she must decide: fight beside him… or destroy him before the bond consumes them both.
