Lyria has spent her life hidden in the mist-shrouded Forgotten Woods, protected by the elusive Faelethians-unicorn shifters thought long extinct. As one of the last Drakarians, a dwindling race of dragon shifters, she knows the price of being discovered. Her sanctuary depends on secrecy, but when a stoic and determined king crosses into her world, everything she's fought to protect begins to unravel.

Kiaza, the brooding and duty-bound King of the Drakkarians, is desperate to find the last female of his kind before a ruthless enemy does. His kingdom teeters on the brink of chaos, with his loyal partner, Thalos, struggling to hold alliances together-most critically with the Abyssians, the formidable kraken shifters of the seas. Kiaza's mission leads him to Lyria, a fiery and mysterious woman who both frustrates and captivates him. Yet, blinded by his duty, he doesn't see the truth: she is the dragon he seeks.

As the weight of a dying kingdom presses on Thalos, his loyalty to Kiaza is tested when their connection begins to shift in unexpected ways. Kiaza's growing bond with Lyria only deepens the complexity of their shared fates. For Lyria, the choice to trust these two men could mean exposing her long-buried secrets-or risking the survival of her kind.

With war looming, enemies closing in, and hearts caught between duty and desire, the Ironwilde will either unite them-or destroy everything they hold dear.
