No dragon surrenders his treasure without a fight—and no witch ever forgives her trespassers.

Kaelra survived ten brutal years on the western frontier after her father cast her out for a crime she still didn’t remember. Instead of breaking, she found peace, freedom away from his cruelty, and hope that she would one day fulfill her mother’s dying wish.

Now, with the frontier all but conquered, her father orders her home to sell her into a claimed mate bond at the end of the Calling: the annual, week-long rite where shifters and witches seek their fated mates. 

Kaelra knows his plan will fail. She just never imagined that failure would start in the eyes of Ruhkaal, the Elemental Dragon King of Fire and the Southern Crown Prince of the Moongrave Empire.

As old and new enemies conspire to bring the decades-long enmity between the Empire and the Southern Clan Council to a head, Kaelra and Ruhkaal’s bond could unite the southern continent…

Or burn it to ash.
