Every woman worships him. But she refuses.

Uraya wants one thing: Peace.

After escaping the queen of the south and the war that destroyed everything she knew, she's determined to disappear?to build a quiet life far from power, control, and pain.

But freedom comes at a price. And that price is Sethorn.

Known for reducing women into simpering worshipers, dragon lord Sethorn ruins the lives of any woman he desires.

Uraya refuses to be his plaything. She won't kneel. Won't submit. Won't lose herself to the dark pull he exerts so effortlessly over everyone else.

But her defiance fuels his intense captivation with her.

In an effort to maintain her quest for serenity, Uraya is forced to bargain with him, but Sethorn rouses a sinful craving that he dominates.

Primal attraction erupts into savage, carnal hunger.

When the queen complicates their mission, Uraya realizes she is on the brink of losing not just the peace she has always dreamed of but every part of herself.

And if she doesn't evade Sethorn's obsessive claim on her, he will drag her to a fate of his choosing.
