Ember Ashvale has lived 23 years thinking she was human. Clumsy, normal human traits except for the weird gold flecks in her eyes that appear when she’s angry. Other than that, totally human. One night she takes a shortcut through the Whispering Woods of all places and literally slams into Lord Kaelen Drayth, the reclusive Dragon Lord who rules the mountain peaks and hasn’t claimed a mate in 400 years. One touch and fire erupts between them. A one night stand and her world cracks open. Her fate was about to change Weeks after, Ember finds out she’s pregnant, another totally human thing. Except she's pregnant with dragon babies and they don’t grow like human babies. They grow fast and to make matters even scarier, twins. Now she has 6 months before her body can’t hide it anymore, and while she wanted answers for this impossible miracle, the entire dragon court thinks she’s a liar trying to trap their Lord. Haunted, terrified, and burning from the inside out, Ember has to convince the man she barely knows to save herself — and the two lives growing inside her. But why can a “human” carry dragon twins at all? The answer is buried in blood, betrayal, and a bond neither of them chose. And it might be the only thing that saves their kind.
