Publisher's Synopsis
The Old Gods are dead. But magic has not returned, even though all the dragons are slain and the Great Prophecy fulfilled.
Princess Tori has grown up during the longest peace in recorded history, but still she is at war. She fights a continuous battle against the expectations for a fae princess, in a land where she is more commonly seen as a reckless spare than the powerful creature she truly is.
As Tori grapples with her own shadows and the weight of her responsibilities, her world is shattered by an invasion that thrusts her into the iron grip of Abraxas, the Dragon King -a man known for his ruthless discipline and unyielding power.
Amid the turmoil, Tori delves deeper into the world's mysteries. She uncovers fragments of Abraxas' hidden past, and a complex portrait of the Dragon King emerges. Beneath his formidable exterior lies a man burdened by duty, haunted by his own demons, and driven by the very forces that govern their realm. Tori's unbreakable spirit captivates Abraxas, drawing them into an unexpected dance of fate and desire.
While navigating a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and ancient prophecies, Tori unearths a startling revelation: the embers of magic still linger within their world, and the legendary creatures of myth are not as lost as was once believed. United by a common purpose, Tori and Abraxas forge an uneasy alliance, their destinies entwined amidst the resurgence of magical forces.
In the high fantasy tale of 'Born of Mist and Dragonfire', fantastical creatures and legendary prophecies converge. Tori discovers heroes can possess shades of darkness, and that even adversaries can harbor unexpected depths. But in a land where magic and destiny intertwine, can she trust a man with over a millennium of secrets, with both her future and her heart?
