The book that started it all . . . first in the New York Times bestselling Dragon Kin series—an action-packed, thrilling, laugh-out-loud funny story that will leave you wondering how you’ve lived so long without these shifters in your life.

It’s not easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear, or else salute. It’s true she has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man…the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer. 

Too bad Fearghus is a dragon. With him, Annwyl feels safe—a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn’t get any stranger.
