Crown of Betrayal and Blood (Dragons of Tirene Book 3)

She'd rather burn the kingdom to ash than share a throne with him.

Seraphine has spent three years mapping every scar he's left on her life — every broken promise, every calculated betrayal, every moment Daxton of House Vael chose power over her. Now war fractures Tirene from the inside out, and the only alliance that can save the dragon-riders she loves is the one that chains her to her greatest enemy.

Daxton isn't the villain she's constructed in her memory. He's worse — he's complicated. He remembers every version of her she's tried to bury. And when a blood-oath older than either of their bloodlines binds their fates together through ancient dragon magic, there's no walking away. No pretending the fire between them is purely hatred.

The crown of Tirene demands a united ruler. The dragons demand a bonded pair. And Seraphine's traitorous heart demands answers to questions she swore she'd stopped asking.

But someone inside their fragile alliance is feeding secrets to their enemies. Trust is a blade with two edges, and loving Daxton once already nearly destroyed her.

*Crown of Betrayal and Blood* is a searing, slow-burn fantasy romance where the battle for a kingdom becomes the battle for two people to choose each other — this time, without flinching.

Some betrayals scar you. Some burn you clean.
