The Second Bond

Kala Delacourt was destined to be a dragon rider—until her father was executed for a lie.

Condemned to slavery for her family's crimes of treason, Kala has spent ten years enduring the cruelty of the court. With her mother on the run, the only thing keeping her from fleeing is Lily, the imprisoned dragon once bonded to her father. Lily's strength is fading fast, her broken bond sapping what little life she has left. But when an impossible second bond ignites between them, it doesn't just breathe life back into Lily—it marks Kala as a threat the crown won't tolerate.

Kala's hopes of escape shatter when her former friend, Soren, returns victorious from the kingdom's dragon rider trials. She swore to never trust him again after he abandoned her, but when he claims her as his squire in front of the court, her resolve begins to crumble. Thrust back into the public's eye, Kala now has to walk a fine line as an obedient squire while hiding a secret that could get her killed.

With the king watching her every move, Kala will stop at nothing to break Lily's chains—even if it means losing her heart all over again.

An Ember Rekindled is the start of a slow-burn, no spice fantasy romance series full of heart-wrenching twists, political intrigue, and forbidden love. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Ascendant.
