L. R. Lam - Böcker

The first book in a new romance epic fantasy trilogy, in which long-banished dragons, revered as gods, return to the mortal realm"An intriguing world, forbidden romance, unique magic, and of course, as many dragons as your heart could possibly desire." -Tara Sim, author of The City of Dusk"Tight, tense, smoldering, and wonderfully queer." -Mike Brooks, author of The God-King Chronicles"Dragons have never been so sexy." -Kate Dylan, author of MindwalkerLong ago, humans betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the "gods" remember, and they do not forgive. Thief Arcady scrapes a living on the streets of Vatra. Desperate, Arcady steals a powerful artifact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history. Only Arcady knows the artifact's magic holds the key to a new life among the nobles at court and a chance for revenge. The spell connects to Everen, the last male dragon foretold to save his kind, dragging him through the Veil. Disguised as a human, Everen soon learns that to regain his true power and form and fulfil his destiny, he only needs to convince one little thief to trust him enough to bond completely--body, mind, and soul-and then kill them.Yet the closer the two become, the greater the risk both their worlds will shatter.
