Sea Dragon Heir
by Storm Constantinein A WORLD BEYOND TIME THE palindrake family ruled the rocky kingdom of Caradore, their right ordained by their allegiance to the power of the Sea. But war came to them, and defeat at the hands of the king of Fire. He had coveted this high, feral land, and now it was his. Caradore, and its guardian family, the Palindrakes, had once belonged to the sea. Their flags were adorned with the ocean's brutal, yet fragile, monsters: sea dragons, proud, attenuated, and coral-frail. If the mournful cries of their shattered ghosts echoed from the ocean now, no one heard them. The flags had fallen and were burned. The elements had clashed and fire reigned triumphant. The Palindrakes were defeated, but not lost. For the lady of Caradore protected the secret rituals of the family's bond to the sea. And in time the power of the Sea Dragons "would rise again. And now, five lifetimes later, the Palindrake heir, Valraven V, has a twin sister, a woman who embodies their inheritance of power in a way that no wife ever could. Valraven is obedient to his oath to serve the Magravandian Emperor in war and peace, and Pharinet is resigned to her duty as a woman to marry. But the tidal power in their blood draws them to each other, into a forbidden passion that could sweep away bonds of fire placed upon the oceanic magic of the sea.
