I'm done hiding. I've stopped running. And I've finally accepted my destiny-to take four dragon shifters as my mates so I can become the next Black Dragon, the wielder of all the elements.

I've already bonded with Jasin, my smoldering soldier, and soon I'll be getting intimate with Auric, my lofty prince, Slade, my grounded blacksmith, and Reven, my frosty assassin. Only then can we become powerful enough to stop the current Dragons, the overlords of our world.

But as we continue our journey, secrets are uncovered about my mates that make me question everything, even as things heat up between us. Yet the greatest secret of all lies in my own past-and it might destroy us completely.
