Promised in Fire (Of Dragons and Fae #1)

by Jasmine Walt

“Those who need help should follow the lights. They’ll take you where you need to go.”

Limbs shifted. Wings unfurled. Spiked tail swished. Fear turned my knees into molten liquid, and it took everything in me not to collapse to the ground as one large, golden eye opened, the reptilian pupil fixing straight on me. The sculpture wasn’t a sculpture. It was a real dragon.

Until I figured out how to get rid of the mating bond, I couldn’t harm Adara. But she didn’t need to know that, and it would be better for both of us if she had a healthy dose of respect and fear where I was concerned. As a female, she wasn’t compelled by the mating bond the same way that I was—she could easily ignore any emotions from the bond, and they would diminish the more I acted like a cad around her.

“A dragon, a lightning rider, and a fire fae sneaking into Wynth to visit the Oracle. This is going to be fun!”

He was still holding my hand, I realized, his fingers curled almost possessively around mine. Something about it felt… right.

I’m falling in love with her, I realized dimly. Despite my better judgment, despite fighting the mating bond tooth and nail. I was falling in love with a fae. Why didn’t that terrify me?

There comes a girl of fire and ice Born of two worlds, with the power of light To save Ediria, she must awaken the beast And defeat the shadows that live in the east Her enemy lives inside one she holds most dear He thrives on darkness, and feeds off fear She must conquer his chaos and trust in her heart Or all she loves will be lost to the dark
