Lord Jayce Morrow and his stalwart mage friends all feel the impending weight of the future bearing down on them. After successfully breathing life back into the keep through sweat and goodwill, the harder winter months are a perfect opportunity for everyone to catch their breaths, train, and finetune plans. Successful attacks against the sluggish army have freed several dragons, presenting new and surprising bonds with their arrivals. As each facet of their world comes together, humans, mages, skin shifters, and dragons are joining their support with Lord Morrow and his vision for Kielbos.

Then their fragile stability is shaken when someone close to the clan goes missing.


Captured in his tiger shifted form, Kygo Arin is to be sold to the highest bidder for ill-gains and blood sport. Forced to wear a magically spelled collar ruthlessly locked around his neck, blocking his ability to shift. And he’s not the only one.


Lord Oberion is on a mission to uncover the leader of the skin shifter poachers and destroy them. After the loss of his husband years before, his one goal is to decimate his murderers. Entering the secretive world of skin shifter poachers and magical slavers undercover, old scars will bleed as he delves into the sordid underworld to find answers. Becoming entangled in a war he knew next to nothing about, he will once again face losing it all.


When plans go awry and he becomes caught in a web of his own making, he will have to rely on his newly found allies and friends to see his plans succeed.


Two men caught in a spiral of depravity, seeking answers they both need. What will they risk to protect those they love?

“I fear you have captured my heart without me even being aware.”


In a time of growing turmoil, with the pressure of war on the horizon, Jayce Morrow and his friends have come to a new crossroads.


Grayson is the lone earth mage among those tasked to join and protect the vulnerable lord. While all mages’ gifts vary, no one had ever imagined a single earth mage would be a bridge between those at the keep and dragons. When Kierei hears more dragon kin, Grayson teamed with the befriended black dragon, will embark on an adventure that could bring them answers and so much more. Answers about the vile Blood Spawn army, about the mastermind controlling it. About the threats bearing down on the capital itself, and the risks those at the keep face. And the only way to find those answers is to find the dragons only Kierei can hear. The fear is that those found answers will break the black dragon’s heart: being unable to locate his missing eggs—his children—or his mate.


When the time comes, will Grayson have the courage to accept the gifts the goddess has planned for him? Will he have the strength to trust what he sees right in front of him?


Kierei knows the answer. But they have to find the other dragons first.
