The bond was supposed to save them. Instead, it's tearing them apart.
Mei Lian and Corvus survived their first battle together, but the cost was devastating. The shadow demons are growing stronger, the Jade Court is fracturing, and the celestial bond that ties them together is becoming unbearable. Every touch ignites fire. Every separation feels like death. And the empire's enemies are watching, waiting for them to break.
When the Dragon Council summons them to the ancient mountain citadel, they discover a truth that could shatter everything: they aren't the first warriors to share this cursed bond-and all the others died screaming.
Thrust into the deadly politics of the dragon riders, Mei must prove her worth to warriors who see her phoenix fire as a threat. Corvus faces an impossible choice: embrace the darkness that makes him powerful, or surrender to the light that could destroy him. Their love is forbidden. Their bond is unnatural. And someone in the Dragon Court wants them dead.
But when an ancient evil awakens beneath the mountains-something that even the dragons fear-Mei and Corvus must decide: will they fight their bond, or finally surrender to it?
Because the empire needs them united. And their enemies are counting on them to fall.
