Synopsis
“You are mine, promised to me by the stars themselves…” When Zemira finds herself chained and bound in her father’s cell, she knows the only reason she’s still alive is because her father intends to use her as bait. Prince Keir—the powerful dragon king who hides himself in the body of a fae prince—has declared he will do anything to protect her. Even reveal his true nature when he promises to break the curse upon her people in exchange for her. It’s a trap. Only a dragon’s heart can break the curse. And her evil father and brother finally have the means to overpower him and cut it from his chest…. Her. To save him, Zemira must make a desperate alliance with an old enemy. Because in the deep, dark cells of the Wraith King’s dungeons, someone else lingers in chains. A fae princess with the heat of a dragon’s inferno running through her veins, one intent upon fulfilling the promise of her destiny…. Zemira must risk everything to save the dragon king she’s finally given her heart to—even make a blood oath with the woman who once tried to kill her…. No matter the cost.
