Angol
She was sent to the dragon king as a sacrifice. Now she may be the only queen powerful enough to command his fire.
Maerwen Valeis is no longer a human hostage in the obsidian stronghold.
She survived the dragon court's lethal rites. She claimed the bond of King Drazek. She rose from treaty bride to Dragon Queen of Ignis Vale.
But the silver mark on her shoulder has awakened something older than the throne itself.
The Mark of the First Flame does not merely prove Maerwen belongs beside the Dragon King. It gives her access to the primal fire that runs through his blood, his mountain, and every ancient law his people have obeyed for centuries. To the court, she is no longer a fragile human bride. She is a queen with the power to change what dragon rule means forever.
Drazek would burn kingdoms before surrendering the woman who has become his mate, his queen, and the living center of his fire. But devotion is a dangerous weakness for a king built on command. When Maerwen's father demands her return and names Drazek her captor, the fragile peace between human and dragon realms begins to crack.
Inside the mountain, Lord Varick and the old-blood nobles whisper that Maerwen's power must be bound before it consumes the throne. Beyond the Ashen Reach, King Aldric twists the treaty into a weapon and gathers the human kingdoms against the daughter who refused to come home.
With the forbidden Burn-Key hidden in their possession and the Codex of the First Flame revealing secrets the court tried to bury, Maerwen and Drazek must define their bond before their enemies define it for them.
Their marriage is no longer a treaty.
Their love is no longer private.
And if they cannot claim the throne together, both kingdoms will learn what happens when dragon fire chooses its queen.
Dragon King's Bond is Book 2 in a dark dragon king romantasy trilogy featuring a possessive dragon ruler, a powerful bonded queen, open-door romance, court intrigue, ancient magic, royal betrayal, and a fire-bound marriage worth burning for.
