House of the Dragon meets From Blood and Ash in this fiery, epic dark romantasy.

A conqueror captivated...  
A witch destined to save them all...  
A world where dragons rule Rome.

When Roman general Julianus Dakkia first lays eyes on the captivating Dacian dancer, Malina, he’s immediately entranced. Years later, their paths cross again on a scarred battlefield, where her life hangs in the balance. In a desperate act, Julianus transforms into his powerful dragon form to save her—an act that could cost him his life. But he and his dragon both know one truth: she is theirs.

Malina cannot believe that the fierce centurion who once gave her a secret talisman is the same Roman general known for his legendary brutality. His prowess in battle is undeniable, yet he hides a secret that could destroy them both. All she knows is the warmth of his protection and the tenderness of his touch—and that her soul has always been drawn to his.

As they navigate a world where deadly flying deathriders burn everything in their path, their love will spark a firestorm that can only end in heartbreak, death... or both.
