Prey to Istinct
No one escapes the city.
No one survives the forest.
And no one returns from a dragon's claws.
Lys grew up obeying rules she never wrote. Condemned to serve in a city where life was worth less than silence, only one thing kept her standing: the hope of finding something beyond the walls-even if it was a myth. Even if it was dangerous.
When she flees with a group of survivors, the forest offers her freedom... but also death, betrayal, and hunger. And something worse: a dragon.
Kaleth is not like the others. He is not only fire, nor man, nor beast. And he doesn't want Lys dead-he wants her for himself.
Amid battles, blood, and desire, Lys will learn that sometimes love doesn't save. Sometimes it scars. Sometimes it devours.
And sometimes, the price of freedom... is surrendering completely.
