The Fury of Dragons

She was sent to kill him. She wasn’t supposed to want him.

Caeli has always survived by breaking the law. A smuggler by trade, she's spent her life outrunning fae soldiers, hiding her forbidden magic, and keeping what remains of her family alive.

But when her sister is stolen through a portal into another world, survival is no longer enough. Desperate to get her back, Caeli strikes a perilous bargain with a beautiful, ruthless fae lord to become his secret assassin.

Her target is the brutal champion known only as the Beast, caged deep within the fae High King's gilded fighting pits. To reach him, she must endure the brutal trials of an elite gladiator school where blood is sport and death is a political game.

Yet the Beast is no monster. Behind the mask is a cursed warrior who stirs something feral and ancient beneath her skin, and every trial she survives binds her heart more tightly to him.

Bound by blood and hunted by a throne that devours everything it touches, Caeli faces an impossible choice—sacrifice the warrior she was never meant to love, or doom two worlds to save her sister.
