Dragon Queen & Her Fated Enemy

Elara Vance has spent her life branded a disgrace—the youngest daughter of a legendary dragon-riding house who cannot bond with a dragon. When the Empire launches a brutal attack and her jealous sister sacrifices her to save herself, Elara’s blood awakens an ancient black dragon. But the warrior riding it is Kael Draven, the Empire’s most feared general and the sworn enemy of her people. The moment they meet, matching Dragon God marks ignite on their foreheads. A Valkyrie reveals the truth: Elara and Kael carry the light and dark halves of a shattered divine soul, doomed to fight through countless lifetimes. Only by surrendering their hatred and forging a complete soul bond can they restore the Dragon God and save the Nine Realms. Hunted by a power-hungry emperor, a giant army, and Elara’s treacherous sister, the two enemies are forced into a dangerous alliance. As suspicion turns to desire and sacrifice becomes trust, Elara rises from a rejected “failure” into the Dragon Queen she was born to be. To break their curse, defeat the Abyss, and end a century of war, she and Kael must choose each other—even if uniting their souls costs them everything.
