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

About this book

Lark Axton believes her life is defined by her role as a trainee at Flighthaven, preparing to defend Aclaris against the winged enemies of Tirene. But her world shatters when she discovers her forbidden lover, the dashing instructor known as Sterling, is actually Prince Knox of Tirene. Having kidnapped her on his brother King Jasper’s orders, Knox drags Lark into the heart of the enemy kingdom, where she finds herself trapped in a royal palace and forced to navigate a web of lethal political intrigue. As Lark struggles to reconcile her feelings for Knox with the reality of his betrayal, she uncovers a terrifying truth: she is the centerpiece of an ancient prophecy that could demand her life. Amidst the chaos, she discovers long-suppressed fire magic burning within her, a power that flares uncontrollably whenever she is near the man who deceived her. Featuring the high-stakes tension of an "enemies to lovers" romance, this story forces Lark to choose between the life she knew and a dangerous, uncertain future. With a sinister evil awakening to consume the realm, Lark must master her newfound abilities before the court—and her own heart—burns to the ground.
