A thorny collar controls my every move and betrayal haunts me, but I'm still determined to seek vengeance for my brother's death. I'll do it with or without Vexxion's help. But when he calls in his favor, I'm given no choice. If I don't make another deal with this secretive fae man I still can't resist, I'm doomed to fail. Do I dare trust him again?

To broker peace between two fae kingdoms, I agree to marry the king of Evergorne Court, a union built on duty, not desire. I'm doomed to a life without love. Onboard the king's ship, I meet his bodyguard, Lore, a brooding shadow of a man who's maddeningly arrogant and too handsome for his own good. He ignites something wild and dangerous inside me, something I must resist at all costs. My new husband, King Merrick, is equally stunning. He makes me laugh, and to my surprise, he makes me hope.

Vexxion and I have escaped Bledmire Court, but the king and his minions hunt us. It's all I can do to remain strong. The man I love is bound by magic to those who are determined to break him, and my childhood friend still wanders within the wasteland of his mind. If I don't free them soon, I'll lose them both forever. My goal to avenge my brother's death seems as impossible now as it was when I first started. But I'm no longer the uncertain dragon rider who left a border fortress to seek vengeance. I'm strong. Conniving. Ruthless.

I'm nothing but an orphan, a dragon trainer in one of the many border fortresses. When beasts attack the villages, I ride, driving them back to the hellscape they crawled from. When my adopted brother's killed during battle, I discover who's controlling the invading beasts—the brutal ruler of the neighboring fae kingdom. A gruesome plot is brewing beneath the glimmering fae surface, and he's responsible for it all. Now vengeance is all I live for. No matter how powerful or well-guarded the king is, I will avenge my brother. This I swear.
