There's none so ruthless as a dragon king...

Ladon Ormarr has earned every bit of his grim reputation. The Blood King. Icy, calculated, and unrelenting.

But he's had no choice. The survival of the Blue Dragon Clan depends on him being an uncompromising leader with the blood of countless enemies on his hands. Especially when every other clan, king, and dragon shifter is gunning for him. Enemies above, below, and always at his back.

If Ladon wants to keep his throne and protect his people, he needs something more. An edge. A weapon. A miracle.

He needs Skylar Amon.

Her existence is a beacon to those dragons who are ravenous for power. But the cunning little firebrand doesn't trust anyone, especially dragons - let alone a dragon king.

Yet ruthlessness runs cold through his blood, and with his people - his clan - depending on him for survival, he will do whatever it takes.

Even if it means putting his life and soul in the hands of a woman who could kill any dragon who tries to claim her...
