When he\u0026#39;s forced to buy a slave, he defiantly chooses Drakon instead of a woman. Because he\u0026#39;s determined to overthrow his father\u0026#39;s empire, he can\u0026#39;t afford to show vulnerability, but Drakon is more compelling than he\u0026#39;d anticipated. For an Arethuza warrior, affection is a weakness that can lead to death. Drakon isn\u0026#39;t really a slave, he\u0026#39;s a black dragon, considered cursed by everyone. Despite his people\u0026#39;s distrust, he will do anything to keep them safe, even submit to an Arethuza prince. He never expected to find love, and that complication could ruin his plans to sabotage the emperor\u0026#39;s war campaign. Though Ryuu is his fated mate, their fledgling bond is a secret too dangerous for Drakon to reveal. Will their duty tear them apart? Can honor prevail in a war that might be too violent for even the strongest dragon warrior?","author_name":"Erin M.
