Of Kingdoms and Claws

By A K Koonce

WELCOME BACK TO DEATH RIDERS ACADEMY ... DO TRY TO SURVIVE.

I've spent my entire life in a cage ... Just to be "accepted" into a new kind of prison: Death Rider's Academy.

The offer of attendance came from a handsome man veiled in a dark cloak and heavy secrets. I've fallen victim to more dubiously charming men than Aelix Deces in my life to know ... he's hiding something

He said I could always trust him. He said he was my friend. But just like everyone else, he lied. And someone should have told sweet Aelix to never make an enemy of a woman with sharp claws and venomous teeth.

With or without him, I am to fight for my opportunity to stay in this magical and mysterious school. If I don't figure out how to claw my way to the top, I'll be sent back to the Kingdom of Attika and accept my place as the King's Dragon ... as well as his mate.

Which leads me to my biggest challenge of them all: find my fated mate within the cold walls of this deadly academy before it's too late.

Or accept death itself as my fate.

Of Kingdoms & Claws is a stand alone, gothic academia romance with winged men, cruel enemies, and deadly trials that are truly to die for. Recommended for readers 18 and over due to fiery heat levels.
