Soft Dnf

She's born to die. He lives to hunt. Wren was born bearing a Mark on her forehead. She’s always known she would be Given to serve the gods in her twentieth year, and she’s eager to work for them since they keep the kingdom safe. That is until she sneaks into a Giving Ceremony and watches as her best friend is slaughtered in the name of the gods. Horrified, Wren escapes her village under the cover of darkness. Her plan is simple: flee the kingdom and stay alive. Surviving is going well until she stumbles upon an injured, unconscious man in the woods. Unwilling to leave him to die, she heals him. Only, when he wakes, she realizes he’s a Hunter. And his prey? Her. Now, he’s in her debt. Inexplicably drawn to her and caught in a moral quandary, he gives her a gift: one day’s head start. Marked Ones must be returned to the gods. It’s the law. And when the Hunter catches her, she’ll do whatever it takes to get away… Given is the first book in The Giving Chronicles, a new slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, epic romantasy series from the author of Tethered and A Game of Love and Betrayal.

When it comes to dragons, there’s no such thing as safe. I learned that the hard way when my kith and kindred were slaughtered right before my eyes. Everyone thinks the wyverns and the sorcai did it, but I know the truth. I’ve been hiding from The Horde ever since, existing under their radar, surviving. And then one day, they find me…he finds me. Aeson Noctis, the king’s second son and my new captor. Aeson thinks he can force me back to Paragon City. He thinks he can use me and claim my power for his own. But the dragons should’ve been more careful about who they let inside their city. I’m not some weak little pawn. I’m here looking for answers. I’m here looking for revenge. When it comes to dragons, there’s no such thing as safe. I know because I am one, and now I’m going to make The Horde pay for what they’ve done. They thought they killed all the Syphons. They thought they hunted down every one. They thought wrong.
