Shadowborne

Shadowborne is a mythical-world romantasy perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing and Sarah J. Maas's ACOTAR series. Dive into an immersive world of dragons, secret societies, and a broken woman fighting for triumph over her kingdom's enemies... and her past.

Secrets can save a kingdom—or destroy everything you love. Bren is the first-ever female to attain the coveted rank of Furyknight—the legendary society of men chosen and bonded by dragons, and trained for war. Desperate to keep the secret that her Commanding Officer is also her mate, Bren throws herself into her new duties, only to discover that the Furyknights also hide secrets under their wings.

At the King’s order, Donavyn introduces Bren to the secret society of the Shadowfang. Unknown even to other Furyknights, the covert society’s training in stealth and espionage forces Bren to endure a refining fire. But as her skill grows, so does Donavyn’s; to him, Bren is precious. To the King she’s becoming a dangerously expendable weapon.

Donavyn trains her mercilessly, honing her into a deadly, concealed blade in the hope she can keep herself safe. All the while he battles fear for her and secretly craves vengeance on the men who hurt her before she was his.

But secret wounds need sunlight to heal.

When Bren's past emerges to ignite a white-hot fire and burn up everything she's achieved, the flames threaten to scorch Donavyn—and every honorable intention he ever held—to ash.
