A brush of skin against skin changes everything … forever.

On a hike deep in the Rocky Mountains, Kai Monahan watches as a dozen dragons—actual dragons—battle beneath a fat white moon. When one crashes nearly dead at her feet and transforms into a man, Kai does the only thing a decent person could: she grabs the nearest sword and saves his life.

It's been two months since Kai Monahan's life changed forever. Retrieved from a suddenly unsafe Colorado by Rhys and taken to Eryri, the dragons' home in the South Pacific, she lives a secret existence. Rhys—for all his awe-inspiring power—is afraid to reveal to his people that he's heartsworn to a human. One he's quite possibly in love with.

Months after bonding with Rhys, Kai is finding her place among the Wingless—humans who have heartsworn to dragons. Determined to help her new people, she's delving deep into her magical training and is the first Wingless to ride into battle with her dragon mate.

Going against customs as ancient as dragons, Rhys is forming his own vision for dragonkind. But the Council have plans of their own that don't include a Wingless queen.

Sacrificed as a bride in her spoiled sister's place to satisfy the terms of a treaty between her pack and the Alpha who murdered her brother, twenty-four-year-old Selene Beaumont doesn't expect to survive the night. As a wolfless pack servant, what chance does she have against a monster like Killian Darrow, the only living heir of the depraved Alpha King?

But when he touches her, it echoes in her soul, and Killian changes from monster to man. It seems the Alpha of Shattered Moon is secretly cursed, not the mate-murdering beast everyone has painted him to be.Sacrificed as a bride in her spoiled sister's place to satisfy the terms of a treaty between her pack and the Alpha who murdered her brother, twenty-four-year-old Selene Beaumont doesn't expect to survive the night.

Killian prefers to keep those he loves at a safe distance, but for Selene to unlock the mystery of his curse, he has to keep her close. Very close. In his bed, skin-to-skin, or the monster rears its ugly head.

Not everyone wants Killian free, or to see a wolfless woman married to the most powerful Alpha in a generation. When allies turn to enemies and old secrets stir, Killian and Selene will learn that nothing and no one is what it seems, not even themselves.

Despite their differences, they can’t resist each other. But falling in love won’t just cost their lives—if they aren’t careful, it will plunge half a continent back into war.
