Court of Secrets and Flames (Dragons of Tirene Book 2)

The man Lark Axton thought she loved has been lying to her from the very beginning—and now he's dragged her straight into the dragon court of her kingdom's greatest enemy.

In this scorching romantasy sequel, Lark's world collapses in a single night. One moment she's a flight trainee at Flighthaven, stealing forbidden kisses with her devastatingly handsome instructor Sterling. The next, every illusion shatters. Sterling isn't a trainer. He isn't even Sterling. He's Prince Knox of Tirene—the enemy nation she's spent years learning to fight—and he's just delivered her like a gift to his older brother, King Jasper, who rules the Royal Palace with cold, calculating power and an unsettling interest in Lark herself.

One that marks her as something far more dangerous than a hostage. King Jasper claims she's Tirenese. Knox can barely meet her eyes.
