Deprived of his freedom, he is imprisoned in a dark cave, his rage growing with each day of torture and humiliation. The only light he sees comes in the form of a human female, offering her care. A woman who makes him burn with equal fury and desire. A woman who has no place in his heart or mind, for only one thought sustains him. Vengeance! And even if her kindness softens his heart and her touch sets his body aflame, she will not be spared his wrath. Because once he breaks the chains of slavery, he will burn down her whole world. She is the key to his freedom. The cold-hearted princess Ravina is a woman with a mission. Eradicate the dragon race from the face of earth.

To find her sister, she must get closer to the creature she despises. But things don’t always go as planned and soon Ravina ends up finding more than she bargained for. Caught in a battle between humans and dragons, love and hatred, trust and betrayal, Ravina must make every choice with caution. And with every step she takes closer to the fiery beast, she risks melting the ice surrounding her heart and being consumed by the flames of fury and passion.

Taking care of him

Malachi woke up, his whole body aching. As he shifted, pain stabbed him at the side of his stomach. He could feel the bandage around his waist and he looked around with heavy eyelids. 

Ravina sat near the window, staring into the night. She seemed lost in thought. Malachi watched her in silence, his throat and lips feeling dry. As if sensing that he was awake, she turned to him, her eyes blue eyes looking tired and dead. 

"You are awake," she said as a matter of fact. She stood up and walked around the bed and he followed her with his gaze as she came to stand beside him. "How are you feeling?"

Why was she alone here with him? 

He parted his dry lips to speak. "Why are you here?" He croaked. 

"To take care of you. Let me bring you some water." She said and without waiting for his reply she left him. 

Malachi forced himself to sit up, then looked down at the bandage wrapped around his waist. Taking care of him? What was happening?
