About the author

Everly Haywood imagines herself to be a shieldmaiden of great prowess…but you’re more likely to find her in a dusty library. She writes swoony-sweet romantic fantasy about strong leading ladies and brooding but huggable heroes. An advocate for her Goblin Princess with Down Syndrome, she also features characters with disabilities. When she isn’t tangled up in magical curses or drinking pumpkin spice coffee, she can be found weeding her garden, homeschooling her Fairy Princess, and reading books by authors like Leigh Bardugo, Tara Grayce, and Sylvia Mercedes.

When Calder Becket is assigned to the dungeons instead of the skies with his beloved dragon Ash, he’s disturbed by the torture he discovers in the darkness of Fangward. As he tends to the elf prisoner and learns about a missing princess, duty and conscience begin to war for control of his heart. 

Meanwhile, something is driving the dragons mad. And it may not be a natural affliction. Calder’s sister, Maeve, will do anything to save her dragon flight, but what if discovering the truth means she must leave her husband behind?

When Calder and Maeve try to unravel the mystery of the deadly affliction preying upon their dragons, oaths will be broken and family bonds tested. Duty demands they do nothing…but how many dragons will be consumed?
