She survived the day that shattered two worlds.
Now she has to go back.
At seventeen, foster kid Serenity Vale watched her guardian die inside a Manhattan mansion full of locked doors, impossible shadows, and enough weirdness to keep a therapist employed for life. She's spent four years convincing herself it was all trauma.
Then the mansion is left to her.
Because apparently the universe has jokes.
Returning to Charing Manor means facing everything she's outrun — and discovering what lies beneath it: Mid-Realm, a hidden world of seven dragon kindreds, guarding an ancient magic that's beginning to fail.
Ethan Blackwing has spent his life chasing the truth.
As a dragon chronicler, he trusts evidence, history... and absolutely not the sarcastic Human who just stumbled into his world's greatest catastrophe. But when a legendary artifact binds itself to Serenity's heart, Ethan is ordered to bring her — and the stolen magic she carries — back to Mid-Realm before an ancient enemy tears the realms apart.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must survive dragon politics, murderous enemies, and an attraction that's becoming deeply inconvenient. Because the closer they get to the truth, the clearer it becomes: Serenity's connection to Mid-Realm was never an accident.
She was always meant to return.
The problem is… she might be the reason everything falls apart.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Dragons and dragon shifters
- Slow-burn romantasy
- Grumpy hero × witty heroine × age gap
- Hidden worlds and portal fantasy
- Found family and forced proximity
- Greek mythology woven into epic fantasy
"Not your older sibling's dragon shifter romance… expertly crafted worldbuilding, gasp-worthy reveals, and the balance of romance and fantasy in perfect harmony. I never wanted to arrive at the final page." —McKinley, Editor, Hot Tree Editing
