She sought answers about her father. She found her destiny.
Belle crashes through the gates of Blackthorn Keep seeking the truth about Andreas Voltari-the mysterious father she never knew. What she finds instead is Malrik Veyrion, a dragon king who's been waiting centuries for her return.
Malrik is the last of his kind-scarred, dangerous, and bound by grief that has shaped him into something magnificent and terrible. When Belle picks a black rose from his garden, she awakens magic in her blood that shouldn't exist. Magic that calls to his dragon like a song he thought he'd never hear again.
But Belle isn't just any lost soul seeking answers. She carries the reincarnated essence of Seraphina, his murdered queen-though neither of them realizes it at first. Her dragon-born blood makes her immune to his fire, responsive to his dominance, hungry for the claiming her soul remembers even if her mind denies it.
As Belle's memories of another life bleed through dreams and desire, she discovers that some love transcends death itself. That she's not losing herself to this dangerous man-she's finally becoming who she was always meant to be. But when Eva Thorne, the Order's deadliest hunter, arrives to eliminate the awakened dragon, Belle learns the ultimate truth:
Eva is Malrik's daughter. The child stolen centuries ago and turned into a weapon against her own kind.
Now Belle must choose: embrace the queen she was born to be, or watch the family that war tore apart destroy itself again.
