Harper lives a quiet life off the grid, dedicating her days to running a remote animal rescue sanctuary in the mountains. She has a gift for rehabilitating the most broken, aggressive strays. But during a violent winter storm, she finds something that isn't just a stray dog. It's a massive, terrifyingly large pitch-black wolf, bleeding out in the snow from silver bullet wounds. Against all logic and survival instincts, Harper drags the lethal beast into her cabin to save its life. What Harper doesn't know is that her "big grumpy dog" is actually Ryker, a ruthless and feared Supreme Alpha who was ambushed and betrayed by his own pack. Trapped in his wolf form while his body slowly heals, Ryker finds himself entirely at the mercy of this fragile, sunshine-filled human. He should leave. He should return to his territory to exact his bloody vengeance. But as Harper tenderly bandages his wounds, feeds him by the fire, and defends him from the winter cold, the lethal Alpha realizes the impossible: this ordinary human is his fated mate. When the traitors finally track Ryker's blood trail to the peaceful sanctuary, they think they are walking into an easy kill. They don't realize that the "stray" they are hunting is ready to burn the entire world to the ground to protect the girl who saved him.

Eliana, Princess of Evindel, owes it to her Kingdom to end the ice storms by convincing their strongest alliance, Prince Aelric of Aerandale, to propose and unite through marriage. This is a forced union by The Red Dragon, a new God, that struck up a deal with Evindel's ancestors centuries ago to give the Evindel Kingdom power and wealth in exchange for blood sacrifices and offerings. Once Eliana marries Aelric, she can convince the entire province of Gaelthar that the old Gods are gone, and the only true God is The Mighty One, The Red Dragon. However, while courting Aelric, Eliana is soul-searching after coming of age. As she gets closer to Aelric, she can't help but feel an intense pull towards her personal guard, James. Although having any relations with the royal guard is forbidden, they both find it impossible to deny. Early on, she finds that her parents are keeping secrets from her. Little does she know, her parents aren't the only ones withholding information. Who else is keeping things from her? Who else is betraying her? Throughout the book, Eliana fights demons in her closet and shadows in her room, unravels secrets, meets numerous suitors, has constant nightmares, and, most of all, is tempted. She is finding herself while losing herself.

*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.
