Bound By Fire: The Dragon's Claim

Beneath the skin of the modern world, dragons walk in human form—ancient, ruthless, bound by oaths older than empires. They live among mortals, watching from the shadows, ruled by laws that forbid them from claiming human mates. But when one dragon’s fire burns too hot, the old rules begin to crumble.

Lira Ashbourne is a gifted art restorer with a strange ability to sense heat in the brushstrokes of ancient paintings. When she’s commissioned to work on a medieval mural in a crumbling cathedral, she awakens something buried—something alive. Her touch releases Kael Dravonic, an exiled dragon prince sealed in human form centuries ago for defying his kind.

Kael’s curse was meant to last forever—until her blood broke it.
Now her scent calls to the beast inside him, her heartbeat ignites a hunger older than flame itself. To claim her means breaking the sacred covenant of his race. To resist her means losing the last ember of his soul.

But the world of dragons is not kind to those who defy it.
Enemies rise from the ashes, ancient hunters wake, and the line between passion and destruction blurs as Kael and Lira are dragged into a war that could burn both worlds to ash.

Bound by fire, torn by fate—his desire will either save her… or consume them both.
