I and Inferno—the powerful red dragon that’s fused his soul with mine—have agreed that the Death King must be exiled. We travel north to Riviana Star, the forest home of the elves and my father’s brother, Ezra.

I was fifteen when the Death King came for us. With a mighty black dragon and the ability to command the dead, he raised an army of our fallen soldiers to fight for him—and conquered us in the night. My father couldn’t stop him. I tried to flee but came face to face with the man in black armor.

Orphaned far too young and the only child of the King and Queen Barclay, I was destined to take the throne upon my twenty-second birthday. But no woman has ever ruled my kingdom, especially one who is unwed.

From the moment our paths crossed, Wrath has always been with me. Until he's not.

I knew Callum would come for me. I leave the treacherous underworld behind and return to life with the man I love—finally. But when I ask him to marry me, there's a heaviness in his silence. He admits that he's kept something from me . . . and he finally tells me his truth.

With my father indisposed, I become Queen of the Southern Isles—and it's the heaviest responsibility of my life. I know the Barbarians will come for the kingdom, and I have to prepare for war. But I don't have to do it alone . . . because Wrath is with me. My advisor and my protector, he helps...

Kingsnake prend mon visage entre ses mains et m'attire vers lui. Or nous devons finir ce que nous avons commencé, former une alliance avec les Éthéréens et partager le remède avec les humains, mais j'ai du mal à être en sa présence maintenant.

Il m'a fait une promesse — puis il l'a rompue. Kingsnake m'a promis de me libérer une fois qu'il aurait trouvé le remède, mais il me tient dans l'ignorance depuis le début. Maintenant que je connais la vérité, que je sais qu'il n'existe pas de remède, il refuse de me laisser partir.

Twenty four years have passed since Talon and Calista defeated Barron and his sons. The dragons were freed of their mental imprisonment and now they soar proudly in the skies above the Southern Isles. Twenty four years of peace. Until Lily Rothschild's galleon sails off course and ends up far to...

La reine Rolfe m'a trahi. Ma propre mère. Les Dents ont ma femme, et je ne peux pas m'autoriser à penser à ce que ces barbares lui font.

Mon mari m'a trahie. Le pardon n'est pas une option. Je demanderai à la reine Rolfe de rompre notre mariage. Nous le voulons toutes les deux. Sans compter qu'elle m'est redevable.

Quand je le livre à ma mère, je comprends qu'elle a des plans bien plus sinistres pour elle. Elle me dit de faire exactement ce que son père a fait : la violer.

Talon says the most horrible thing—that he doesn’t expect to survive the war. It’s an outcome I don’t want to consider. My whole life has been an endless reign of suffering until I found him.

I’ve been abandoned by every man in my life—except for one. He arrived at the outskirts of Riviana Star just in time, and not only saved me, but the people I’ve come to consider my own.

I had the chance to leave these lands and avoid the war—but I chose to stay. I chose to stay because if I don't keep Harlow safe, she'll die. The demons are a foe too powerful, invulnerable to Huntley's fire-breathing dragons, a fiend so untouchable that HeartHolme and the other kingdoms stand...

Harlow is smart and fierce, and I should have known that she would cross me. Now I'm a prisoner under the castle—and once her father returns I'm as good as dead. I've heard tales of the king's ferocity, and I know he'll burn me alive with just his stare.

My task is simple: kidnap Princess Rolfe. But the second I lay eyes on her I realize she’s anything but simple. Rancor, Leader of the Teeth, has commanded I fetch her in exchange for the Golden Serpent venom. But my plan is immediately derailed when I feel it. When I feel how much she wants me....

Ellasara came at me with a blade—and she defeated me. But my eyes open to my bedchambers, and I see Kingsnake sitting at my beside with Fang next to my pillow. I expect to feel the horrible pain of my injury, but I already feel healed....

Kingsnake promised me he would let me go once he found the cure, but he’s known this entire time and never once shared it with me. And now that I know the truth—that there is no cure—he still won’t let me go. Now I’m his prisoner once again. He asks to feed from me several times, but I...

A sickness has claimed the kingdoms of men. Everyone is either sick or dying, weak to a curse that has no cure—except for me. I’m immune to this mysterious illness, and I do my best to heal the sick and ease the pain of the dying. I was supposed to marry the Prince of Raventower, but after...
