A romantasy with dragons, pain, a mortal with magic, and a fae warrior who gives her jewelry.

As iron poisoning chokes Faerie, a human healer and her terrifying dragon fight to save the land... and battle a fae warrior's deadly prejudice.

When Faerie is poisoned by treacherous mortals, apothecary Chloe knows she'll have to heal the land to save it. But for someone who doubts her own abilities, she's afraid her plan will fail.

Fae warrior, Quintus, hates all mortals except her. Their disagreements on how to end the war only feed the fire between them, though his protective nature calls to something in Chloe that aches for recognition.

Of course her problems don't end there. She also has a terrifying dragon following her around and acting like she's its master.

But even if Quintus learns to see the difference between treachery and mortals, she still can't fall for him. Because someday she'll die of old age and an immortal like him never will. How could she doom the one she loves to such pain?

Dive into this epic fantasy romance filled with healing magic and an apothecary discovering her value, and watch an enemies-to-lovers bond break all the rules.
