Blaze of darkness

Kuraht1
Every twenty years, they come, winged beasts cloaked in flame and shadow, reducing Hazel’s village to ashes. No one knows why. No one survives long enough to ask. On the year she clocked 20th , Hazel expects to hide like everyone else. But when the sky burns red, and fire rains down, it’s not death that finds her. It’s him. Kaelith. The Black Dragon. The most feared of them all. Ruthless. Immortal. King. He claims her without reason, snatching her from the wreckage and imprisoning her in a fortress carved from obsidian and fire. She is to be his mate. A bearer of his heir. Nothing more. But Hazel is no dragon. No queen. Just a girl with no power, no claws, and no escape. As days turn to nights and hatred gives way to obsession, Kaelith’s icy control begins to crack. In her fear, he finds fascination. In her defiance, he discovers fire. And as his enemies rise and secrets within the mountain unravel, one truth becomes dangerously clear: The dragon never came to destroy the village. He came for her.
