She flew away from the only man who could complete her. Now he'll search the world to prove his love—before she destroys herself trying to forget him.

Rowan thought she understood heartbreak. She was wrong.

Discovering she's a dragon should have been the shock of her life. Instead, it's learning that Rafe—the shadow dragon who awakened her powers and claimed her body—only wanted her as a broodmare to challenge his Council's ancient laws. The words she overheard shattered everything: "She's pure. Tell me why we shouldn't be able to breed?"

So she did the only thing that made sense. She shifted into her true form and flew into the night, leaving behind the man who taught her to breathe fire and the love that nearly consumed them both.

But Rafe is hunting her across continents, driven by regret and a truth he never got to speak: he loves her. Not for her bloodline. Not to breed. Just her. The problem? Dragon law still forbids their union. If the Council discovers what she is, they'll lock her in hibernation for five hundred years—and he'll be dead before she wakes.

Now Rowan faces an impossible choice: return to her human life and bury her dragon nature forever, or risk everything to stand with Rafe against the laws that keep them apart. Because some loves are worth fighting for. Some loves are worth changing the world.

The emotional conclusion to Rafe and Rowan's story—where heartbreak and hope collide in a battle for forbidden love.
