Storm of Blood and Shadow

Jessiva's flourishing career as one of the Queen's dancers is cut short when the kingdom is conquered and dragons descend upon the Capital. When she is snatched up by one of the dragon princes, Jessiva is afraid, not only for herself, but for those who depend on her to survive. She determines to destroy Varex, the dragon prince, no matter what the cost. But she didn't anticipate his kindness and charm, or his unexpected need for her help.
Varex is intrigued by the gorgeous, talented human female who seems immune to his smooth talk and keeps threatening his life. He's determined to win her over; but when a catastrophic storm strikes the dragons' island, he makes a decision with severe consequences. With their goals at odds and the fate of others in their hands, Varex and Jessiva must decide how much they are willing to risk for each other.
