Fire Bride is the second book in the Drakoryan Lords series, and continues the story first started in Sacrifice. One woman. Four dominant dragon lords whose desire is only for her. An enemy that threatens all they hold dear. Lyla is no ordinary wife. She is a Fire Bride—a mate to four Drakoryans with whom she shares a strong physical and mental bond. As she adjusts to management of House Fra’hir, she almost must meet the lusty demands of her insatiable mates. But amid the adjustment to her new life, comes danger. Human villages under Drakoryan rule are being attacked. Rather than tell Lyla, her mates seek to protect her from the awful truth, despite having been given a prophecy about the leadership role she is destined to play. But some secrets can’t be kept, and when the Drakoryan Council meets at Castle Fra’hir, Lyla learns the truth. War is coming. After hundreds of years of sleep, the ShadowFell Dragons seeks revenge on the race of shifters who drove them far from the Drakoryan Empire. And this time, the huge night dragons have their sites set on a prize they must not be allowed to claim. They covet the Drakoryan’s humanity, and seek the deep magic that will allow them to become shifters as well. Lyla isn’t about to stand aside, knowing those she left behind are in danger. But her mates are determined to protect her. Will their desire to keep her safe put their relationship in danger, even as they prepare to battle the approaching danger?
