Dragon's Destiny

Khabri has searched for his mate for years.

Anna does not believe in fate.

She believed the wrong man once, followed Gershom into exile, and helped build a life in the mining settlement far from the Zmaj warriors she feared. Trusting destiny only gave her another excuse to surrender her choices to someone else.

Then the Invaders come.

They burn the settlement, slaughter the people who cannot escape, and drive Anna and a handful of survivors into the desert. With no supplies and nowhere safe to run, she becomes the leader she never wanted to be.

Khabri arrives in time to save her.

The powerful Zmaj warrior is a secret Councilor of the Order, trained to protect Tajss and obey prophecies older than the human colony. He has sensed Anna's presence since the moment the Order learned humans were coming. One look confirms what his dragon has always known.

She is his treasure. His mate. His destiny.

Anna's answer is no.

She does not know him, does not trust the bond he claims, and refuses to trade one controlling belief system for another. But Khabri keeps proving that his certainty does not erase her choices. He protects her friends, listens when she sets boundaries, and risks everything to bring the survivors home.

By the time they reach the City, home is surrounded by an army.

Tajss is under full-scale invasion. Food and epis are running out, the shield is failing, and a planet-breaking warship has arrived to finish what the enemy started. The only chance of survival lies inside the buried military installation that once helped destroy their world.

To save Tajss, Anna and Khabri must cross the desert, face the monsters beneath it, and help unite people who have spent years divided by grief, fear, and old betrayals. Khabri believes destiny brought them together for this battle.

Anna must decide whether loving him means surrendering her freedom, or finally choosing a future that belongs to her.

Dragon's Destiny is a steamy fated-mates alien dragon romance featuring a skeptical heroine, a possessive Order warrior, he-knows-first devotion, invasion survival, forced proximity, redemption, found family, destiny versus free will, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
