The final vintage is about to be poured… and it’s explosive.

But before the first glass of wine is poured, her son vanishes.
And the storm outside isn’t weather.
It’s a warning.
Since the beginning, a powerful being known only as the Collector has been watching from the shadows—testing her defenses, studying her magic, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
That moment has arrived.

Her vineyard.
Her family.
Her dragon.

The relic cannot be stolen.
It can only be given.
And the choice she makes will determine the fate of not just her magic—but everyone she loves.
