I never expected to bond with a wild dragon, and I definitely never expected to become part of a fated triad the skies haven't seen in centuries. Now, wild dragons are flocking to me, my magic is changing... and the King of Fynn, Torin, seems far too interested in what I've become. But beyond the Keep, something stirs. The Broken Wing-once a shadowed cabal of the unchosen-has resurfaced, stealing bonds and spawning Hollows: monstrous voids capable of twisting dragon magic into ruin. As prophecies whisper, alliances shift, and desire burns hotter between me and my bonded men, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: Trust is fragile. Power is volatile. And our impossible bond may be the only thing standing between salvation and destruction. Defy the Storm is the explosive sequel to Claim the Skies-perfect for readers who love why-choose romance, fated bonds, forced proximity, found family, elemental magic, and protective, morally gray men who would tear down kingdoms for the one they love.

In Avaris, dragon bonds hold power, and mine might destroy everything. At twenty-four, my path in the Scaleborne Legion should have been simple. I never expected Nocthyrn, a wild Shadow dragon no one should bond, to choose me. Our bond pulls me into a triad with two elite riders who are nothing like I expected. Kane, a controlled storm wielder, dangerous in all the wrong ways. Caleb, a fire wielder, warm enough to melt every defense I have. Training with them is chaos. Fighting with them is power. Falling for them? I never stood a chance. Something ancient has awakened between us, something fierce and realm breaking, magic strong enough to tear Avaris apart or save it. Perfect for fans of spicy romantasy, dragon riders, why choose, morally gray heroes, and fated magical bonds.

The war has begun. With the fae realm under attack and the truth behind the King and Queen's murder finally exposed, Daella has been left behind-safe within the palace walls, far from the front lines where Alvaryn and Aeris now fight. But safety feels like a prison.

Her only help comes from the last person she wants it from: Demwyn, the newly crowned King. Cold. Unyielding. Bound by duty. Forced into her life by obligation, not choice. But as war rages beyond the palace gates and secrets tighten like a noose, Daella and Demwyn are pushed together in a game neither of them want to play. Hate begins to blur. Trust begins to form. And in the silence between the chaos... something new begins to grow. Please follow and read along in their journey. Completed 9th March 2025 All rights reserved.

Almost a century ago, the fae discovered they could no longer bear children-and humanity paid the price. A treaty was forged: The Offering. Once every couple of decades, young fertile women are taken from their homes and delivered to the fae realm, destined to become wives for fae lords. Treasured. Trapped. Chosen. Daella always knew it could happen to her. But when the fae come, she isn't ready. And she sure as hell isn't willing. Now forced to live inside a gilded palace among the other chosen, Daella must learn the ways of the fae world-obedience, grace, and silence. She refuses. Her defiance draws the attention of the three fae princes, each bound by duty... and each dangerously intrigued by the human girl who dares to fight back. As desire grows and loyalties are tested, Daella begins to unravel the lies behind the treaty that stole her freedom. And in a realm built on secrets and power, she might be the spark that sets everything ablaze.

'Don't look, Lillian. Never look into the eyes of a Sin-Eater, you will be as cursed as he is and will forever languish in darkness.' Lillian Elmes remembers the warning her mother gave her about the town's Sin-Eater only too well. How could she not when she'd ignored it as a child, only to find herself plagued with nightmares when she'd seen with her own eyes what the dark work of the Sin-Eaters entailed? Now an adult, Lilian's curiosity still burns deep, especially when she crosses paths again with the town's freshly-appointed Sin-Eater, the mysterious and strangely alluring, Daniel Carver. Desperate to find out whether the rumours about the dark priests are true, Lillian makes the journey into the forest to spy on Daniel in his woodland cottage, only to realise that she really should have heeded her mother's warning all those years before. For Lillian Elmes, looking into the eyes of the Sin-Eater is going to bring her far more than she had ever imagined it would - murder and mayhem, ghosts that just won't lay to rest and an attraction that might just be more lethal than the undead who've started rising from their graves.
