Cursed with the form of a dragon, Prince Liam searches for the legendary Phoenix Stone. Rumored to be able to break any curse, this mythical stone is his only hope of regaining his humanity … and his life.

Then he meets Ryn, the adopted daughter of a nobleman. Unlike others, she doesn’t run screaming when she gets a good look at him. Instead, she offers him the hand of friendship and an absolute readiness to throw hands with anyone who treats him as less than.

Suffering from a curse that slowly steals her life, Paladin Eminent Taeryn hides in plain sight. The Light sent her on a deathbed mission with no instructions.

Arriving at the palace, Ryn finds a reviled prince in desperate need of a friend. Perhaps her final mission will be to show the prince just how much he’s worth, and maybe she’ll get to punch a few people along the way. She prays she’ll live long enough to help him before the curse takes her completely.
