Dragonbound

DRAGONBOUND by Jess Rae A thief was never supposed to touch the crown. Avra Kest entered the king's palace for one reason-to steal a mysterious silver box and disappear before anyone knew she had been there. Instead, she touched a broken black crown. Dragons woke. A forgotten mark appeared on her hand. And the most dangerous man in the kingdom became bound to her by blood, fire, and a past neither of them can fully remember.
Rhydor Corvath is a feared commander with secrets of his own. He knows more about Avra than he admits, carries the memory of a dead dragon inside him, and will risk everything to keep her alive-even when Avra begins to suspect that he once helped erase her memories. As ancient dragons rise, hidden bloodlines are revealed, and the king's brutal experiments come to light, Avra discovers that she was never chosen to wear a crown.
She was meant to steal the power behind it.
