The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

The Villain Origins: The Dragon And The Fae

Taryn Tary

"I’ll be damned if I fall for your charms, fae…”

Ryke, the fierce king of dragons, wants blood. A faerie killed one of his own, and vengeance is all he craves. So when a faerie burning for the same revenge stumbles into his territory, he seizes her as his prisoner. Deals are struck, magic seals their fates, and suddenly enemies find themselves bound tighter than either expected.

Their every clash is fire and fury—a dance of blades, wings, and words sharp enough to cut. But hate has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous when desire sparks in its place. As danger closes in, Ryke and his unwilling captive must decide: cling to revenge, or surrender to the fate that binds them… even if love turns out to be the deadliest risk of all.

Nathalie Hooker

"If you know what's good for you, you'll run. You'll stay out of my way." Hector growled, eyes dark with desire.

Evalyn met his gaze evenly, her silver dagger close at hand. "That's what I should be telling you."

Evalyn has one goal: kill the rogue her murdered her family. But things get complicated when a werewolf seems to be hunting the same rogue. Even worse, he's mysterious, skilled, and irresistibly handsome. Evalyn would rather die than join forces with a werewolf...even if he is her mate.

As secrets are revealed and loyalties tested, Evalyn must choose between vengeance and love. Will she embrace her forbidden desire for Hector, or will the ghosts of her past tear them apart? This steamy paranormal romance will leave you breathless as Evalyn and Hector fight fate, foes, and their own passionate nature to find their happily ever after.
