Ainsley No-Name has nothing—just a young orphan scraping by to feed her foster family. But when she’s kidnapped, her end seems certain.
Until a dragon appears. Scales blazing, it saves her, binding her as its rider. In Adalinda, this bond means one thing: death for any peasant who dares forge it. To survive, Ainsley claims a royal title—the lost heir of House Boreen.
But Adalinda’s power brokers won’t surrender the throne to a girl who came from nowhere, least of all Dominic Roark. Powerful, arrogant, and dangerously handsome, Dominic wants Ainsley dead, her dragon his own, and her throne under his rule.
With enemies closing in, Ainsley and Dominic’s clash threatens to ignite a war that could tear the kingdom apart.
Will her claim withstand his wrath?
