She was broken, but even a shattered blade can kill... Tormented by grief and powerless after the loss of the men who anchored her magic, Annika fakes her death, seeking refuge in a secluded town. For years, she hides her identity until a chance encounter with a dragon exposes her unique power to the Lord Commander of the Dragon Riders. Even though she escapes, a yearning for a soul-deep connection with the magnificent beast haunts her dreams. When the commander tracks her down, his touch rekindles her crippled magic making her question all she knows. He claims she is his ultimate weapon and plans to bond her to his dark fae necromancer—but Annika is done being controlled. When vampiric ghosts attack, she takes fate into her own hands, choosing to bind herself to the dragon. Hunted by the Lich King and torn between the commander, who ignites her magic, and the necromancer, who tames its roaring inferno, Annika forges herself into the weapon she was destined to be. However, the dragon’s anchor is not enough when impending war and betrayal sets her world ablaze. Even if she sacrifices her soul to take another, can one conduit mage save a failing kingdom? ------------------------------------------ A fantasy with adult characters for readers seeking a unique blend of Epic Fantasy and why choose romance.

The series contains adult M/F content, and further in the series, you will find M/F/M and M/M pairings, as well as coarse language and injury detail. Suitable for readers 18+
Author
Olena Nikitin is the pen name of a writing power couple who share a love of fantasy, paranormal romance, rich, vivid worlds and exciting storylines. In their books and out, they love down-to-earth humour, a visceral approach to life, striving to write realistic romances filled with the passion and steam people always dream of experiencing. Meet the two halves of this Truro UK-based dynamic duo! Olga, a Polish woman, has a wicked sense of humour with a dash of Slavic pessimism. She’s been writing since she was a small child, but life led her to work as an emergency physician. While this work means she always has stories to share, it often means she’s too busy to actually write. She’s proud to be a crazy cat lady, and together with Mark, they have five cats. Mark, a typical English gentleman, radiates charm, sophistication, and an undeniable sex appeal. At least, he’s reasonably certain that’s what convinced Olga to fly across the sea into his arms. He’s an incredibly intelligent man with a knack for fixing things, including Polish syntax in English writing. If you give him good whiskey, he might even regale you with his Gulf War story of how he got shot. Olena Nikitin loves hearing from their fans and critics alike and welcomes communication via any platform! https://linktr.ee/olenanikitinauthor
