An Inheritance of Flames

An orphan and a bastard with no claim to power and no protection of her own, Enora has survived her uncle's court by being small, obedient, and forgettable. When the dragon-ruled kingdom of Dracia invades Lucind, she learns she is the daughter of their long lost heir and must participate in an ancient rite... The Trial of the First Fruit. Enora is wed to Dracia's best warriors — Harwin and Klivan, powerful dragon shifters whose loyalty to their King runs as deep as their desire. One is hardened by loss and ruled by duty. The other wears charm like armor, hiding sharp intelligence and hunger beneath. She will split her time between them, and the one who sires her firstborn will claim the throne. As they grow closer together, dragonfire begins to stir in her veins, and the role she was meant to play — pawn, peace offering, sacrifice — burns away. Faced with enemies creeping in the shadows, rising desire, and a crown that may demand everything she is, Enora must decide one thing: will she be consumed by the flames… or will she control them?
