Betrayed. Broken. Becoming a Weapon of Her Own Making.
Eva Thorne spent centuries as a conditioned killer for the secretive Order that hunts dragons like prey. But when she shattered their control and reclaimed her true form, she didn't expect to become the spark for a revolution.
Now the world knows dragons exist. The Order is unraveling, but far from dead. And as Eva rescues the next generation of enslaved shifters—including one who may be Sasha’s long-lost child—she discovers something worse than death: children bred to be weapons, memories erased, identities stolen.
As old alliances fracture and supernatural factions step out of the shadows, Eva must decide what kind of leader she wants to be: a killer shaped by her past, or the protector her people now need.
With her mate Andreas by her side, and an army of freed dragons rallying behind her, Eva will face the Order’s final contingency—a new master, one who believes she still belongs to them.
