Forged in Flame

What happens when the soul bond that was supposed to guarantee forever becomes the thing slowly destroying you?
Amber made a choice six years ago: accept the bond to an Aitanian dragon prince and build a life in an alien world. She didn't know that choice would cost her everything—her budding career, her identity, the woman she used to be. She didn't know her passionate warrior mate would transform into an absent father who forgets his own children exist. And she definitely didn't know that one day she'd stand in their apartment and realize the soul bond everyone promised would be eternal bliss had become a cage she couldn't escape.
But bonds work both ways. And when Amber finally breaks, Rystix faces a question that terrifies him more than any battle he's ever fought: what if he's fundamentally broken? What if he can't be the father and partner his family needs?
As they navigate the dangerous terrain of saving a relationship that's already half-dead—can you resurrect something from ashes, or do you build something entirely new?—a darker threat emerges. Someone has been watching their hybrid children. Someone has been making lists. Someone believes children born from human-Aitanian bonds shouldn't exist at all.
