The Dragon's Fated Bride

Beware the betrayals of fate. —- Sterling’s blazing red eyes bore into Faye’s terrified gaze. “My little butterfly, don’t you understand? Once a dragon is gifted something precious, he will never let it go.” ---- Faye Montgomery is a young, lower-echelon noblewoman caught in a game of imperial betrayal and death. Soon after her mother’s untimely passing, Faye is informed by her drunken and depraved stepfather that in exchange for her family’s mounting debts, she is to be sold into a contract marriage. Her new groom is the most celebrated and fearsome knight commander in the Eastcarin Empire.... Duke Evan Sterling Thayer of Stanhall Lake. Upon her first meeting with the stern and icy warrior, Faye comes to understand her situation is far worse than she originally thought. She realizes she has encountered the Duke in the past. The young bride now believes death would have been preferable to being sold into this heartless union with her family’s former adversary and the man responsible for her current unfortunate circumstances. However, over time, even as she struggles to liberate herself from this abomination of a man, Faye discovers their red strings of fate are more closely intertwined than she once imagined. They both have become unwilling puppets of the empire. With the many hidden agendas and secrets of those in power surrounding them, they will have to put away their differences and form an alliance if they wish to survive.

Aaron stood alone in the snow-covered clearing, the biting cold seeping into his bones. An eerie sense of foreboding engulfed him. The silence was broken only by the faint sound of a whoosh, followed by a sharp zip past his ear.

His heart raced as he witnessed something slender and pointed embed itself with a resounding thunk into the ancient tree beside him. Drawing closer, he noticed with a shiver that it was an arrow, a sinister message from his pursuers.

Panic gripped him, and he swiftly sought refuge in the unforgiving tangle of thorny brambles of Terewell thicket, each prickly branch scraping over his fur, but never puncturing him.

Desperate to evade the wrathful villagers, he darted through the undergrowth, narrowly avoiding a barrage of arrows aimed at his fleeing form.
