A Queens Lady with a love of books
Bookish Lady Celestina once was a favorite of the queen who enjoyed pampering her. The queen is now dead. The new queens favorite pastime is to hold court spectacles, where she violently maims or slays members of her court who has upset her. Celestina has managed to avoid becoming a spectacle by keeping out of the queens way. That is, until the battle.

The Beast of Fein
General Soren Kitmun leads one of the most feared armies in the four kingdoms. Its said the goddess of death cant collect souls fast enough when hes on the battlefield. When his king sends him to defend the neighboring Kingdom of Earst, he never expected to be rewarded with a Queens Lady turned slave.

A gift he never wanted
After Celestinas parents commit treason during the battle, Celestina is punished for their crimes and given as a slave to the Beast of Fein. Shes magically bound to obey his every whim. General Soren is as beautiful as he is terrifying. Hes a man who never breaks a promise, and hes vowed to execute the slaveafter hes done playing with her.

As they travel to Sorens homeland, Celestina falls for this complicated man who has both sworn to kill her and has killed to protect her. Hes hiding secrets that frighten her. And shes discovering shes not as powerless as the magical slave binding had led her to believe. Uncovering each others secrets may destroy not only their hearts but also leave an entire kingdom in ashes.

Finding the missing dragons may be their only hope.
