Some lies are older than kingdoms. Some loves are worth destroying the world for.
Aelia has spent her entire life defending the border between light and darkness. Raised to believe the world below is filled with monsters, she has never questioned the stories-until a deadly attack sends her dragon crashing into the forbidden depths.
There, she meets the one man she was taught to hate.
Zevran is not a monster. He is the scarred leader of a dying people, fighting an ancient corruption known as the Blight-a force that turns cities into silent monuments of ash. Beneath the earth lies an extraordinary civilization abandoned by history, where bioluminescent forests glow beneath endless stone skies, dragons are legends, and every day is a battle for survival.
As impossible truths unravel, Aelia discovers that everything she believed was a lie.
Her kingdom is hiding a devastating secret.
An ancient prophecy has been waiting for her.
And the bond she shares with her dragon may be the key to saving two worlds... or condemning them both.
But destiny demands a price.
To stop the Blight, Aelia and Zevran must trust each other long before they dare love each other. Every step toward the truth pulls them deeper into danger. Every stolen moment threatens everything they have sworn to protect. And when the final choice arrives, they must decide whether love is worth the sacrifice that prophecy demands.
Bones and Breath is an unforgettable romantasy filled with breathtaking worldbuilding, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, dragons, ancient prophecies, forbidden magic, found family, impossible choices, and heart-wrenching sacrifice.
If you love emotionally charged fantasy with unforgettable characters, richly imagined worlds, and a romance that burns as fiercely as the fate of kingdoms, Bones and Breath will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
