The Light Under the Shadow Wing

SHE'S HIS WEAPON AND HIS WEAKNESS. HE'S HER KING AND THE ONE TEMPTATION SHE CAN'T AFFORD. "If you love yearning, and I know you do, you need this book immediately."—Chloe Neill, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Idallia knows exactly who she is: a phoenix-riding warrior in the Dragon King's elite fighting squadron. She also knows how different she is from the other peoples of Ellonrift. She's too fast, strong, and long-lived to be human. She doesn't have fae magic, shifting powers, or a vampire's thirst for blood. So where did she come from, and why is she the only one? The more Idallia finds out about her mysterious origins, the further she seems from the truth—and the closer she gets to the fiercely protective Dragon King, who might be keeping secrets that could destroy them both. Bale has spent centuries guarding a kingdom and the hidden treasure he's been training and shielding for far longer than she knows. Idallia was supposed to be the ace up his sleeve and his triumph over his greatest enemy. Instead, she's become the one person he can't seem to let go of, even for his own good. With the kingdoms of Ellonrift on the brink of war, now is the time to act, but thrusting her into the political game he's played his whole life could cost him everything—his home, his crown, and his heart. Secrets collide with a scorching hidden attraction as Idallia starts to uncover the truth, and Bale knows he must choose between desire and duty. One can stop the devastation. One might let it all burn.
