Bluefire
Isabelle Jones

But when Nerys discovers a dying dragon guarding a single black hatchling deep within the mountains, everything changes.
Because the hatchling chooses her.
Now hunted by the kingdom and dragged into the brutal world of dragon riders, Nerys is forced into the Crown’s deadly trials...where survival means bloodshed, betrayal, and learning who to trust among enemies dressed as allies.

The sea has demanded a bride for generations.
This time, it chose the wrong woman.
Fira Dawn arrives in the storm-ruled kingdom of Nareth expecting a political marriage, a cold husband, and a life trapped inside a palace drowning beneath curses and secrets. What she does not expect is Kartos Oberon — the feared sea king whose touch stirs tides, whose grief has become legend, and whose eyes look at her like he is already preparing to lose her.
The kingdom whispers that every royal bride dies.
The sea itself seems hungry for her.
And beneath the palace, something ancient and furious waits within the black water, calling Kartos back to the tide that created him.
Fira should fear him.

With war threatening the realm and powerful forces willing to do anything to preserve the old order, Zivra must decide whether she is willing to risk everything for the truth.
Because some bonds can change a life.
And some can change an entire kingdom.
