Build a temple. Raise the dragons. Take a chance on forever.

Standing in the rubble of his life, Yury is ready to fall down when he is given a chance to do the impossible. Bring back the dragons.

Small, unwanted, and at risk of being tossed into the gutters, Niko cannot say no when Yury sweeps into his life and offers him a new life away from the city and everything he has ever known. Yury claims it is his Fate to build a temple to the lost dragons and bring them back to life.

As they work together, their relationship develops along with the temple, and though growing up in the orphanage Niko learned to never hope for much, he starts to dream of more than Fate has promised, if only he can convince Yury to trust his heart and take a chance on forever.

Slow Burn is the second installment of the A Time of Dragons and Fate series. It overlaps with the events of To Light a Spark but contains its own love story. Each book ends with an HEA. No cliffhangers.
