When investigative journalist Victoria Lane inherits her great-aunt’s Somerset cottage, she expects a quiet summer sorting through an old woman’s belongings. What she finds instead is sixty years of secrets—filed by decade, annotated in three colors. Agnes Ashdown kept records on everything: the village, the festival, the people who passed through both. And at the center of her archive, hidden inside a landscape painting no one thought to question, lies an envelope Agnes spent a lifetime waiting to open. Then the gallery owner is found dead.

She was never meant to be alone with the Viscount. When Viola Merriweather accidentally finds herself trapped in Lord Lydford’s private study during a grand ball, scandal erupts at once.

But Viola refuses to become any man’s bride out of duty—even one as powerful, handsome, and impossible to ignore as Nathaniel.

In a world where skies burn and shadows crawl, unlikely leaders rise to defy annihilation. Draven, a battle-hardened strategist haunted by the ghosts of his past, and Selene, a fierce warrior whose bond is unmatched, unite under a single banner: survival. Their army is no ordinary force—it is a legion of dragons whose wings blot out the sun, phoenixes reborn in fire, chimeras stitched from nightmares, and hydras that coil like living storms. Together, they march against the relentless Wayling army, a tide of steel and secrets bent on erasing from existence.
