To end the war, he must marry the enemy.
Prince Ash Rosewood is terrified of the dragons. To him, they mean nothing but dragonfire, forests of ashen remains, and blackened corpses. But after twenty years of war, the only path to peace requires Ash to marry one of them.
At the peace assembly, Ash tries to avoid the dragons—until one collides with him and he finds himself in the arms of Lord Barrett Morton. As he gazes into the dragon lord’s striking green eyes, he can’t help but notice the kindness dwelling within. Ash begins to wonder if marrying a dragon might not be as terrible as he once thought.

When the queen of Botanial offers her son’s hand to the winner of a contest, Barrett sees a chance to not only cement the peace but prove his worth. And after meeting the beautiful nature mage Prince Ash, he’s more than ready to fight for the right to claim him.
But there are forces that seek to unravel the fragile peace and destroy their union. Can Ash and Barrett find love amidst the turmoil? Or will the same powers that fuelled the war tear them apart?

Onyx despises the dragons. They invaded his people’s lands, started the war, and killed his sister. Now, to secure peace, the heir to the Grey Mountains must marry a dragon prince. But of all the princes, why does it have to be him—Prince Luther, a man Onyx hated at first sight?

Still, Onyx will do his duty and marry a man he despises—for his kingdom and for peace.
But Prince Luther hides a different kind of battle beneath his carefree façade. Haunted by the horrors of war, he tries to drown his pain. And whilst most accept the illusion Luther crafts, Onyx’s sneering gaze seems to penetrate the lies and see the broken mess Luther has become.

Two warriors, forced together by duty and sacrifice, both carrying the scars of war. Can they overcome hatred and mistrust to find love with each other? Or will their marriage unravel, bringing a return to war and bloodshed?
