When Elena's name is drawn to be sacrificed to the Storm Dragon, she expects only death. For three seasons, the rains have failed, and Pyraxis-once a gentle guardian-has become savage. No tribute has ever returned.
But the dragon's hoard hides more than gold. Among its treasures lies a presence that calls to Elena with a power she cannot resist. When she encounters a creature so vast she mistakes him for the mountain itself, she realizes her village's stories are only half-truths.
To save her drought-stricken valley, Elena must unravel the mystery of what truly ails the Storm Dragon-and confront desires more dangerous than any storm. Some sacrifices demand not blood, but surrender.
A sensual romantasy for readers who crave dragon lore, cursed immortals, and a heroine who discovers that salvation can come from passion itself.
