Midnight of Ashes

Still recovering from a near-fatal attempt to save one of her mates, Hayden finds her bond with the dragon-shifters fraying under the weight of fear: Knox, Cáel, and Cillian hover over her like she might break, while Maddox keeps his distance entirely. Despite being fated together by the stars, the group threatens to splinter even as threats close in from inside and outside their compound, with the Dragon Council, other hordes, and a mysterious force called Little Flame all complicating an already fragile bond.

Tessa Hale continues the Dragons of Ember Hollow series with escalating mating-bond tension, deepening backstories, and an enemy no one sees coming.
