About this ebook
Yara Parmstone, Queen of the Dragon Shifters, is at war. Two of them—one among those she's supposed to rule and an even darker, deadlier one.
The plan? Panic. The other plan? Steal back the goddess of the dragon shifters like the thief Yara has always been. If she doesn't, the war will be lost and all shifters will die.
Even her three hot-as-sin favorites. That just won't do.
With the help of a strange woman, Yara must stay one step ahead of the wars raging all around her to stay alive, to save the shifters, and to keep riding those horny dragons of hers.

Chapter One
On the other side of the shimmery border between the fae and dragon shifter lands, a vast wasteland of twisted, sickly looking shrubs and dead grass stretched out in front of Belle Harrison and me. About half a mile or so ahead, a sprawling city rose high into the overcast sky, all of the building's outer walls black as night.
Well.
Belle stopped and stared with her hands on the hips of her jeans, a chilly wind loosening a blonde curl from her bun. The dark fae could learn a thing or two about aesthetics to greet guests. If they're going for cozy and welcoming, they may need to fire their decorator.
I tilted my head—but not too far because of my crown—at the landscape and the city beyond. I kind of like it, actually. I like black. Reminds me of my soul.
Belle snorted. Sorry, but you don't have a black soul. I've seen black souls, believe me, and yours is far from it.
Black is how I take my coffee, then.
I shrugged, the movement hurting my still-sensitive skin from the poison dress I’d put on earlier. But I did think my soul turned black when Asa was kidnapped by dragon shifters. That was a super dark time. Now my soul is just pissed off.
That's fair.
She raised her hand for a high five. Coffee junkies unite. Respect. Remind me to whip you up my specialty sometime.
Will do.
Once I wasn't fighting two wars at once, that is. Once I high-fived her, I hiked up my dress and untaped the Queen's Cross from my thigh, hoping it would somehow point us in the right direction. It was supposed to work as a communication device between me and the dragon shifter goddess, Léas, but it wasn’t working even though she was here. Somewhere.
Belle loosed a whistle. A woman with gadgets, I see. What didn't you bring?
Luck, though I'm hoping we won't need it.
Yeah, fresh out of that.
Frowning, Belle touched her black leather holsters strapped to her thighs, one with a dagger inside and one with her...bird-sword. That’s what she’d called it anyway. Doesn't tape hurt your skin?
I smiled. Only if I don't shave.
I gestured to her holster. Tape is lighter than leather, easier to bend, and my kind stays sticky.
Well, damn. Now you have me doubting my methods.
She tucked her stray curl back into her bun while eying my dress with admiration. Except I bet I don't wear as many dresses as you do either. As a thief, you need your gadgets hidden.
And you need your weapons within easy reach for your line of work. You're right though. I've been wearing far too many dresses and skirts lately.
Belle smiled into the distance, her blue eyes faraway. I'd rather be naked.
Same.
I chuckled, but the sound quickly faded since the three I most wanted to be naked with had been taken from me.
Pain sliced across my chest, like my heart was cracking. The urge to run back across the border to find them bit at my heels, but I resisted. Finding them wouldn't save them, but finding Léas would. I just hoped we could, and quickly.
Belle unsheathed her bird-sword. I’m going to see if Night’s Fall can take us directly to the goddess.
She thrust it up in the air. Take us to Léas.
When nothing happened, she holstered it again and shook her head. Damn finicky sword.
I have a feeling this isn’t going to be easy,
I said with a sigh.
We started walking then, and as we drew closer to the city, a terrible odor washed over us, like sour milk and dumpsters on a hot day. Every window I could see was smeared in what looked like gritty tar, and the blackened walls on the buildings were chipped and crumbling away in several places. The air felt heavy and damp despite the brisk wind, and stuck my lungs together.
Feels like dark magic. Looks like dark magic. Smells like dark magic,
Belle whispered, looking around and not seeming to miss anything as we drew closer. Must be dark magic. It clings to the city, like it's been here a long time, oozing out of the fae and settling here.
Black like the Queen's Cross,
I muttered, and then gasped, holding the cross out in front of me like a crucifix. Belle. I don't know for sure, but what if this cross wasn't always black? It was used by a fae to kill a dragon shifter, after all. Maybe that's why it's not working in contacting Léas.
She nodded. Because of the dark magic. So if we remove it, we might be able to find your goddess.
Not my goddess, I almost argued, but then I remembered that with this crown I wore, Léas was my goddess, whether I chose to worship her or not. Nothing like a little forced religion during wartime.
Do you know how to remove dark magic from objects?
I asked, hopeful.
No idea. Since it's a cross and I can't kill it, I'm afraid I have no answers in that regard. Are we sure your goddess is even here? This place appears to be abandoned.
She's here somewhere.
I fought back a sigh, frustration itching under my skin.
There were multiple dragon shifter cities on the other side of the border. Who's to say there wasn’t more than one fae city too? Léas could be anywhere, but we didn't have time to play hide-and-seek. The fae were killing the dragon shifters when they weren’t munching on humans, and all the while the shifters were growing weaker and weaker because they hadn’t received their power
