Possession of a dragon egg is a death sentence in the Arterian kingdom, a fact twenty-two-year-old Katerina Blackwind discovers when she finds one buried in her father’s grave. To save the hatchling, Daeja, Kat must embark on a perilous journey to the secretive Dragon Lands. Caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the Arterians and rebels, she realizes she cannot survive the trek alone. She turns to her old flame, Cole Ashbourne, a former lover who has since transformed into a chiseled, powerful Captain in the King’s military. As Kat navigates the dangers of a military outpost to keep her mission hidden, she finds herself trapped in a high-stakes love triangle. While Cole struggles to choose between his duty and his lingering feelings for her, Kat must also contend with the sinisterly provocative Darian Raventhorn, who lives just next door. Featuring the "second chance" and "love triangle" tropes, this exhilarating romantic fantasy blends political intrigue with heart-pounding tension. As secrets regarding her family and the kingdom emerge, Kat must decide who she can truly trust before the war consumes everything she holds dear. With snarky banter and an addictive pace, this adventure is a must-read for dragon lovers.

See all formats and editions Possession of dragon contraband in the Arterian kingdom is a guaranteed brutal execution. When twenty-two-year-old Katerina Blackwind finds a dragon egg buried in her father’s grave, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. She must return the forbidden dragon hatchling—Daeja—north to the secretive Dragon Lands: where dragons roam free and a rebellion group resides. But she can’t do it on her own – smuggling a dragon hatchling across the realm during a war between Arterians and rebels means she can be killed by either side. She knows there’s only one person she can truly trust, her old flame, Cole Ashbourne. Yet, Cole is much different than the last time Kat saw him: deliciously chiseled in all the right places with a raw power lingering beneath the surface. Cole is torn between his responsibilities as a newly-promoted Captain in the King’s military, and his heart. Kat works on a plan to get Daeja to the Dragon Lands while keeping a low profile at the military outpost. Though, having a room next to the sinisterly provocative Darian Raventhorn proves to be anything but easy. Danger lurks at every turn, and as more secrets are unearthed, Kat is left to question everything she thought she knew about dragons, her family, love, and the kingdom. ) ©2025 Courtney Whims (P)2026 Courtney Whims Previous slide of product details 1.
