Her kiss will shatter realms...
Dragon shifter and artisan blacksmith Hadrian is determined to strengthen his fellow Pyr warriors in the battle against the Fae by forging them talons of steel. He won't be seduced by the sensual promise of a firestorm that has to be a spell-even to help a beautiful warrior escape the clutches of the Fae Queen.
Rania is a swan-maiden and Fae assassin, who has made a deal with the Dark Queen's will to break the curse over her brothers. All she needs to do is kill Hadrian, but this dragon shifter won't die easily. It's more than dragon vitality that helps him survive her lethal kiss, but Rania refuses surrender to his potent touch for any price when so much hangs in the balance.
But the Dark Queen's betrayal compels Rania to ally with the vital dragon shifter in a last-chance effort to save her brothers and herself. Can Hadrian unfurl the painful secrets of Rania's past to give them a future? Can Rania help Hadrian to realize the power of his own legacy to defeat the Fae? When barriers between realms are destroyed, can love conquer the obstacles between these destined mates-and create a new world for their unborn son?
