Dragon chieftain Arik and human princess Ophelia are fated mates. When humans begin slaughtering Arik's kind to harvest magic, his drive for vengeance eclipses the power of matehood bonds. Can Ophelia reach Arik before his kind incinerates her people? Can Arik learn to trust the mating bond before he extinguishes half his own soul? This book is intended for mature audiences 18 years of age or older, as it contains explicit language and graphic sexual content. "This gripping tale of faraway lands sears with passion, magic, and allure." — Kirkus Reviews
