love. With a shifter dragon.
But the drop-dead gorgeous Skye
only thinks of Rowan as her best friend. But when she turns up in his room in

Even if that means running away and letting his family think he’s dead.
Skye’s entire world turns upside
down the day her scales turns black. She knows she’ll have to flee to find
answers. But she wasn’t planning on Rowan coming too. She just wanted to say
goodbye. He is so eager to help that she can’t leave him behind even though she
knows she’ll never be able to love him in return.
Together, they fight off
murderous dragons and uncover sinister plans. But can they find the answers
Skye so desperately seeks? And can Rowan sacrifice everything he knows to win
her heart?

Skye was
a coward. She knew that, but she couldn’t bring herself to stay and watch Sid
and Aspen commit suicide. There was no way the council would allow Aspen to
become queen.
Not to mention that then Skye would have to know the exact moment
when she died, because anyone who pledged loyalty to Sid would die the second
he did. No, running away was better. She should have enough time to get to her
parents before death came. She’d able to say goodbye.
This was her fault. Pearl had told her to keep Aspen safe. Instead
she’d gone and made everything worse. Maybe if she’d kept Aspen at home, Sid
would’ve been fine.
If she’d never given Sid that damn loyalty seal, she wouldn’t be
this close to death. She wasn’t sure what she was thinking at that time. Part
of her thought he’d make it. Another part didn’t care whether she lived or
died. It wasn’t like she’d have much of a life anymore.
When Sid became King she found Everett and begged him to remove
the seal that marked how much she loved him. He did and now she longer had a
swirl of gold on her ankle. But Everett warned her there would be a price to
pay. She gladly paid it at the time, but but she hadn’t expected to feel so
empty.
For a half second she thought about heading to Everett’s instead
of her parents. Maybe he could remove the loyalty seal before she died. She
shook her head. How cowardly of her. The price would not be worth it. That was
for sure.
She was only fooling herself though. She would make the same
decision if given the choice. Aspen was the only way they could possibly
survive. When Skye dropped Aspen off , there were three possible outcomes. One,
she and Sid would die and all those with loyalty seals would as well. Two,
Helios, the final dragon that Sid needed to secure all the loyalty seals got to
him before the council had a chance to killed him. Or three. Aspen could be
become queen. She’d have to convince the council that she should be queen and
pass the queen’s tests She hoped Aspen could do it.
She felt her wings tiring. This could be the beginning of her
death. She hadn’t known anyone who had died because of the loyalty seal and
didn’t know how it worked. She spotted a lake below her and decided to stop and
get a drink. She had to make it home.
Skye landed a little rougher than normal. This had to be the end.
She staggered over to the water and took a deep drink. The water sparkled under
the full moon. Skye stretched her wings out and swiveled her neck around to
scratch her nose. She froze. Her wing was no longer silver.
This must be part of her death. Or at least that was what she
tried to convince herself of. Adrenaline coursed through her veins and she no
longer felt tired. Dragons didn’t change color before they died. In fact
dragons never changed color. Except when they became king. Then they turned
black.
Skye spun neck around the other direction. It was more than her
wings that had changed. Her whole body was now a deep coal black.
This was impossible. There was no way she could become king. Sid
was king. Unless he died. Then someone else would take his place, but that
someone had to be a full royal dragon and male. Of which she was neither. There
had to be some huge mistake. This had to be a dream. She stuck her head in the
cold water and came out again. Still black. This wasn’t possible.
Unless.
That stupid prophecy.
The one that said three kings would rise. The one that said they
could come from other races. But she was still female. Something was definitely
wrong. She was also still very much alive. She couldn’t go see her parents now,
not like this. No, she had to go see the one dragon who could explain how this
happened.
She wracked her brain trying to think of everything she’d learned
about the prophecy. She loved history and so she studied a lot, but this
baffled her. Nothing in the prophecy said anything about a girl. She’d spent
hours listening to Everett’s boring details about the prophecy, yet he hadn’t
mentioned that females could become kings. He was so in for it.
