Mistwhisper Falls was finally quiet again. Until Ivy Chen cracked open the wrong magical book.

She didn’t mean to bond with a draconic consciousness older than civilization. And she definitely didn’t mean to bind herself to the town’s most reclusive—and dangerously attractive—dragon shifter.

Dorian Ashwind didn’t do partnerships. But the shadows whispering in his mind aren’t going away, and the only person who can translate the Chronicle’s cursed pages is the painfully smart, infuriatingly brave librarian next door. The one who smells like old paper, ink, and a kind of magic he hasn’t tasted in centuries.

Now they’re tethered by a bond neither of them understands. The town is slipping into a dream-state, reality is fracturing, and Ivy and Dorian are the keys to either saving the world… or rewriting it entirely.

And every time she looks at him like she wants to risk everything, Dorian’s dragon gets a little harder to leash.

He was never supposed to fall for the girl who opens forbidden books.

But she already opened him.

Read on for dragon-fire tension, forbidden magical bonds, slow-burn unraveling, and a reclusive MMC who will burn down the world to protect one librarian. HEA Guaranteed!
