Forged by Heart and Claws

My father sold me to a dragon shifter to pay his debts. Now, I'm bound to a beast. On my eighteenth birthday, my father traded me to the ruthless dragon shifter, Torren Vikander, to settle a life-debt. I'm forced to leave my simple life behind for a world of shifters, magic, and ancient rivalries I never knew existed. Torren is arrogant, commanding, and unbearably handsome—a king in his own right who sees me as nothing more than a pawn. He claims I'm his mate, a bond I want nothing to do with. But the pull between us is undeniable, a fire that threatens to consume us both. As enemies close in and secrets about my own past begin to unravel, I find myself caught between a desire for freedom and a growing connection to the dragon who holds me captive. In a world where trust is fragile and danger lurks in every shadow, I must decide if this bond is my prison or the key to unlocking my true destiny.
