Lucia Yadira should have died. Betrayed and left for dead, she felt the life draining from her—until Aleksander, the man she loved, saved her in the most primal way possible. Marked by a dragon shifter, she wakes to find that every enemy who wronged them has been dealt with. But as she recovers, something feels... off. The Aleksander she knew—her protector, her king—has changed. And no one would tell her why.
Aleksander was once the ruler his people needed, bound by a treaty that demanded he suppress the beast within. But marking Lucia shattered that control. He no longer wants to be the noble king who sacrifices for his people—he wants to be the monster who would burn the world for his mate. And if she refuses to accept the man he has become? Well, she might not have a choice.
In a world of power, sacrifice, and fate, Lucia must uncover the truth before the man she loves is lost to the darkness forever. But the question remains—does she want the king, or the beast?
