Mideamideast Stories

When Princess Arzaylea is forced to marry the man her kingdom calls a traitor, she expects a monster. What she gets is Ragnar Virelith-scarred, silent, and dangerous, a fallen prince with blood-written tattoos, a dead dragon in his past, and a reputation built on the ashes of a ruined kingdom. But the world is changing. Ancient wards have failed. Night-eaters roam the dark. Villages burn in unnatural fire. And when a forbidden relic awakens powers buried with the old world, dragons begin to rise from the dead. Arzaylea and Ragnar must cross mountains, ruins, and seas in search of ancient relics before war devours the realm. But the deeper they go, the more Arzaylea realizes the truth is far more dangerous than the stories she was raised on. Because Ragnar is not the villain they made him into. He is the ruin. And she may be the only shadow it keeps.
