The Horde King of Shadow: Hordes of the Elthika, Book 1

About this book

Klara is a scholar living in the shadows of Dothik’s library, harboring a dangerous secret: she experiences vivid, prophetic visions of dragons and a lost world. Once a royal, she is now an outcast, terrified that her rare magic will lead to her execution. Her quiet life shatters when the ruthless Sarkin Dirak’zar, king of the Sarrothian horde, arrives on dragonback to secure the heartstones—the dwindling power source his people desperately need to survive. Sarkin has no desire for a wife, viewing the unwanted princess as a potential liability. However, because Klara’s visions are the key to saving his dragons, he forces her into a marriage of convenience, leaving her with a brutal ultimatum: join him or watch her home burn. As she is thrust into the harsh reality of the Sarrothian horde, Klara must learn to bond with a dragon of her own while navigating the ice-cold exterior of her new husband. This enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance masterfully balances high-stakes political tension with simmering, spicy chemistry. As Klara and Sarkin are forced together, they discover that the walls surrounding his heart are beginning to crumble, sparking an unexpected passion that threatens to change their destinies forever.
