Description
"A Knight's Tale meets Fourth Wing in this new cozy romantasy series!" "★★★★★This is the book that should be getting all the hype. If you love dragons, dragon riders, fae, and high fantasy, you need to get this series!!!" I was born to ride dragons and no one can steal my fate... Tahlia is half-fae. Wrong blood. Wrong ancestors. Wrong everything. She’ll never be allowed to become a Mist Knight—a dragon riding warrior who defends the kingdom’s wild north coast. But when the noble female she squires for runs off with a barkeep, she decides to take the noble’s place, risk death by fire, and sneak into the tournament that will name the next Mist Knight. Full-blooded, noble, and second in command of the Mist Knights, Marius prides himself on living a strictly disciplined life. He has a plan: wed the commander's daughter and rise to his father-in-law's role, but only when the time is right. Marius never saw Tahlia coming… Tahlia is determined to burn her way into the Mist Knights' world and take that handsome Marius along for the ride. *This shorter cozy fantasy romance with a grumpy-sunshine romance and rom-com vibes is an upper YA/NA novel with mature situations and language. This story serves as an introduction to the series. There's no real spice yet, but book two will have a dash of it here and there. Also—order Kingdom of Spirits, Bound by Dragons Book Two, today!
