A spellbinding gift that runs in her blood...
A plea answered by the gods...
A world where dragons rule Rome.

Lela Bihari’s village was invaded on her wedding night, her betrothed murdered right in front of her. While her sisters were either dragged away or escaped, Lela was sold to Valerius, a consul of Rome.

When she tried to kill Valerius her first night as his slave, her bloodsinger gift manifested… and earned her a muzzle. Now she’s paraded in front of the other senators for their amusement. The only place she finds solace from her hellish prison is at the temple of Proserpina, but even there she is interrupted.

Except Trajan Tiberius, the newly elected tribune to the senate, is different. Speaking in a low, rumbling timbre, his dominance radiates across the room. Their connection sets her on a path of vengeance, and using her gift puts her in more danger than ever before.

Now trapped inside the walls of Rome while deathriders circle the skies, Trajan is the only one she can turn to. But how can she possibly trust a Roman dragon? Especially when it is clear he has ulterior schemes of his own. As danger draws closer, she realizes it isn't just her life at stake, but also her heart.

Read full series description

At its core, the series isn’t just about supernatural beings—it’s about legacy and choice. Each installment dives deeper into the lives of drakons and the women strong enough to match their fire, unraveling destinies shaped by betrayal, loyalty, and love that refuses to be extinguished. The storytelling here is textured and atmospheric, balancing fierce passion with emotional vulnerability, while the world-building feels as lived-in as it is laced with danger.

What sets this series apart is how effortlessly it blends the feral pull of dragon-shifter romance with moments of tenderness and introspection. The tension doesn’t just simmer—it builds like a storm, turning every glance, every secret, into something that could burn down worlds. With characters who are as flawed as they are unforgettable, and a mythos that feels both fresh and timeless, this is the kind of fantasy romance that lingers.

Perfect for readers drawn to elemental magic, powerful romance arcs, and the crackling chemistry of enemies who might just be soulmates, this series doesn’t demand your attention—it earns it, one searing chapter at a time.
