Her magic was the answer. Tormented by guilt and grief, with her power crippled after losing her bonded mates, Annika feigned her death and sought refuge in a secluded town. After a chance encounter with a dragon exposes her power to its riders, she escapes without revealing her identity, but the relentless Commander of the Dragon Riders tracks her down, determined to make her his weapon. Ormond will sacrifice everything to defend his kingdom, even if it means bonding with a broken mage-unless Alaric, his dark fae necromancer, claims her first. Under the Commander's touch, Annika's magic rekindles, but she resists until a sudden attack unveils a devastating truth: when your enemy is the Lich King, death is not the worst that could happen. Desperate to survive, she needs to ground her power with an anchor. Torn between Ormond, who ignites her magic, and Alaric, who tames its roaring inferno, Annika faces an impossible choice. Can she overcome her grief and become the weapon she was meant to be? With war threatening all she holds dear, will one anchor be enough to save her and the people she has sworn to protect? The decision lies in her heart-to sacrifice her soul or sacrifice the kingdom. ________________________________________ For the readers seeking a unique blend of Epic Fantasy and unusual adult romance.
