THE EMBERFALL SAGA: MARKED TO KILL A KING (BOOK 1)

I was sent to kill the Dragon King.

I lived through the tribute selection that should have ended me the moment I stepped off the wagon because
of a mark on my wrist that matches his.
Kaelen Virek rules through fear. Ruthless, scarred, the last man I should want. He’s also my fated mate.
The bond is a countdown neither of
us chose. Thirty days to claim it, or it kills us both. Every hour it ticks
louder, my mission gets harder to finish and harder to remember why I ever
wanted it. He calls me his. He crosses a hall full of his own nobility to put himself between me and a blade. He looks at me
like I’m the one soft thing in a life built entirely out of war.
If he finds out why I really came to Emberfall, he won’t just end the mission. He’ll end me.
But the mark doesn’t care what I was sent to do. It only knows what — who — I’m not sure I can survive giving up.
A dark MM fated‑mates romance with a possessive
dragon king, forced proximity, and a war that won’t stay outside the walls.
