Storms and Shadows Book 1: The Crown's Shadow

Storms and Shadows Book 1: The Crown's Shadow

by Ember Lorelle

Azariah was never meant to wear the crown of the Dragon Kingdom. Her place was in the shadows, guarding the throne, not claiming it. But destiny doesn’t bend—it shifts, it twists, and now it demands she step into the light. At twenty-five, her time has run out. The throne calls, the crown settles, and the tides of change surge around her. Yet when one mistake unleashes consequences she cannot control, a powerful Fae emissary arrives to test her resolve. The Dragon Kingdom stands strong, but Azariah must face the truth: destiny may grant her the crown, but it will never let her rest easy.

Shades of Fire

Shades of Fire

by Daphne Anders

"I stood in the wake of my destruction; satisfied, pleased but forced with an internal longing. Her. I couldn’t separate my mind from the thought of her, even in war. And I knew I was doomed, cursed with a single weakness, surrounded with longing, not even content in my violence any longer. And the Dragon of Ruin, would suffer ruin itself, by the hands of a delicate creature, with no real power except the power of desire."

King Cerion, the fearsome Dragon of Ruin, thrives on chaos and destruction. Feared by his enemies and isolated by his power, he believes he is untouchable—until an innocent princess shatters his resolve. Princess Kira’s quiet strength and unyielding compassion awaken something Cerion thought long buried: the capacity for desire and, perhaps, redemption. But as their worlds collide, Kira must navigate the dangerous line between saving a monster and becoming consumed by him. Can love tame the Dragon of Ruin, or will his fiery wrath consume them both?
