The Blood Moon Rising

The Blood Moon Rising

Book One in The Blood Moon Empress Series

By Hollye Jaime

Elara Vale has spent her entire life surviving in the shadows of a kingdom ruled by dragons.

When a mysterious invitation calls her to Blackthorne Academy?the most feared dragon training fortress in the realm?she is thrown into a world of ruthless dragon heirs, deadly magical trials, and ancient secrets buried beneath the mountains.

Humans do not belong at Blackthorne.

Especially not humans with silver fire burning beneath their skin.

As the legendary Blood Moon begins to rise, Elara becomes the center of dangerous attention from three powerful dragon kings:

* Kael Dreadmoor, the ruthless shadow heir feared across the kingdom
* Rhys Stormborn, the storm-wielding prince destined for war
* Orion Frostfang, the ancient Frost King haunted by a love that destroyed empires

But Blackthorne Academy is hiding more than political games and dragon rivalries.

Something ancient sleeps beneath the mountain.
Something tied to Elara's bloodline.
Something powerful enough to destroy dragons, kingdoms, and the fragile balance of the world itself.

As forbidden bonds awaken and enemies close in from every side, Elara must decide whether she will become the kingdom's salvation?

Or the last empress dragons will ever kneel to. One bloodline. Three dragon kings. And a throne that was never meant to awaken.
