When unrest spreads across the kingdom and whispers of something ancient resurface, Elowyn is pulled into a world far more dangerous than the one she thought she understood. What begins as survival quickly becomes something else entirely, as if the very web of fate has already claimed her.
And it hasn't claimed her alone.
Jasper stands at the center of it. He is fierce, unyielding, and bound to her in ways neither of them can escape. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch burns. What ties them together feels inevitable... and dangerously close to consuming them both. When Elowyn is ripped from the rebels by a past she thought she had escaped, the fragile trust she had begun to build fractures. She returns changed, carrying more than just the memory of what was done to her. The rebels now look at her differently.
And Jasper... looks at her like he might tear the world apart to get to her again.
As bonds strain and alliances begin to splinter, the line between oath and love grows thinner by the day. With enemies stirring beyond the borders and tension rising within their ranks, Elowyn is forced to carry the weight of expectation, grief, and a power she cannot control. All while standing far too close to the one person who could either anchor her... or unravel her completely.
Because in the end, it won't be the prophecy that defines her.
It will be the moment the dragon chooses.
