SKIN OF SILVER

Paranormal Romance / Dragon Shifter Romance

Skin of Silver Series, Book 1  •  Dual Close Third Person POV  •  HEA — No Cliffhanger

She was sent to him as a sacrifice. He decided to keep her instead.

Aerin Voss has spent her life healing the sick and obeying the Accord—the ancient agreement that keeps her kingdom safe by offering one human life each year to the dragon in the mountain. When the tribute lottery lands on her name, she walks to her fate with her chin high and her terror locked behind her teeth. She will not beg. She will not break. She will die with her dignity intact.

Except Caelindor doesn’t kill her. The last of the silver dragons hasn’t taken a tribute in three centuries—he sends them home untouched. But the moment Aerin steps through his gates, something ancient stirs in his chest. Something that doesn’t ask his permission. Something that simply claims. She is his. The bond says so.

Aerin disagrees—loudly.

As a political enemy uses her absence to rally the kingdom against Caelindor, and a rival dragon circles the mountain like a storm, Aerin and Cael must navigate a world that wants them enemies and a bond that refuses to let them be.
