The Darkest Hour
In a tyrannical kingdom, dragons have been hunted nearly to extinction. When a young woman accidentally awakens and bonds with the most dangerous dragon alive, she becomes both weapon and target.
In DevelopmentHer bond reignites ancient magic long suppressed by a ruthless regime. As rebellion stirs and alliances fracture, she must navigate a volatile dragon bond, a morally gray love interest, and a kingdom on the brink of collapse.
A former dragon hunter turned reluctant ally carries his own scars. Strategic, controlled, and fiercely loyal once trust is earned. His blade has taken more lives than he can count. But she is the one who cuts deepest.
The dragon is ancient, proud, and sarcastic. Their bond is volatile. Emotional instability destabilizes magical stability. Power surges during self-doubt. Pain transfers between them. It is the most dangerous partnership in the kingdom.
The bond may either restore balance or burn the world down.
