About this ebook
I loved him.
He cast me out like I was nothing.
I was only a healer’s apprentice when I found him bleeding in the forbidden woods — a stranger with fire in his eyes and secrets in his blood. I didn’t know he was a king. I didn’t know he was a dragon.
One night was all it took to ruin me for anyone else.
Then his court whispered of a prophecy — a lie dressed up as fate — and Kael Draven, King of the Dragon Court, looked at me like I was a threat to everything he ruled. He cast me out with nothing. No explanation. No mercy.
He never knew what I carried.
Five years later, I have a daughter with scales beneath her skin and fire she can’t control… and a sickness eating her alive that no human healer can cure.
I swore I’d never go back.
I swore I’d never look at him again.
But Amber is dying, and there is only one place left to turn — back to the fire-lit halls I fled, back to the king who broke me, back to the man who doesn’t yet know he has a daughter.
Kael Draven looks at me like five years never happened.
He looks at her like his whole world just cracked open.
The prophecy was a lie.
The exile was built on lies.
And the only thing more dangerous than a dragon king who’s been deceived… is one who’s falling in love with the woman he was tricked into destroying.
He denied me once.
He won’t get the chance to do it again.
