In a realm scorched by dragonfire and stirred by ancient magic, destiny brews in a chalice of betrayal and fate. Astraea Bloodwine, 28 F, a gifted potion master, flees the shadows of scandal in the Moor of Nightshade after a single mistake threatens to not just destroy her name but her family's heritage. Inheriting a mysterious potions pub nestled in the dragon-rider dominion of the Hollow of Emberstone, she seeks to rebuild her life far from whispers and doubt. But the Hollow of Emberstone is no quiet sanctuary. Its ruler, Valeric Emberstone -dragon rider, more than three centuries old, and haunted by secrets-never expected the storm Astraea would bring. Nor did his dragon, Draven, the most feared of them all, who senses a long-forgotten spark the moment Astraea crosses into their skies. As tension ignites between a witch with fire in her veins and a warrior bound to his realm, old magics stir once more. When dragons begin to dream of things long buried and potions brew feelings even fate can't undo, Astraea and Valeric must confront the truth: soulmates aren't just legend-and fire recognizes its match. Emberwine is a tale of potion-laced passion, soul-deep connection, and the flame that flickers even in the darkest of hollows. •|| Highest ranking ||• #55 in Dragons - 18/4/25 #50 in Highfantasy - 19/4/25 Started on 13 Apr 2025
