Shadow & Flame: Extended Edition

The crown's deadliest assassin has one rule: finish the mission. Ryn Valor has never failed—until now.

Sent to eliminate the rebel commander threatening the kingdom's fragile peace, Ryn finds herself captured instead, dragged into the heart of an insurgency she was meant to destroy. Her new orders are equally dangerous: stay, deceive, and bring the rebellion down from within. But before she can execute a single calculated move, she makes a catastrophic mistake—touching a dragon she was never supposed to reach, and binding her soul to a creature of ancient, untameable power.

Commander Kade Draven is everything Ryn was trained to despise. Charismatic, relentless, and infuriatingly perceptive, he strips away her carefully constructed armor with nothing more than the truth he sees in her eyes. He knows she's hiding something. She knows he's hiding more. As they circle each other in a dangerous game of secrets and survival, the line between enemy and ally grows impossibly thin.

Set against a world of fire-breathing dragons, crumbling kingdoms, and ancient magic, *Shadow & Flame: Extended Edition* is a dark romantasy that refuses to let either its characters—or its readers—breathe easy. With the rebellion closing in and a bond neither of them chose threatening to unravel everything, Ryn must decide: complete her mission, or follow the pull of something far more powerful than duty.

Some flames, once lit, cannot be extinguished.
