Bound by Dragons

Tahlia is half-fae. Wrong blood. Wrong ancestors. And according to the kingdom’s nobility, absolutely the wrong person to become a Mist Knight—a legendary dragon rider charged with protecting the wild northern coast. Tahlia disagrees. So when the noblewoman she squires for abandons the upcoming Mist Knight tournament to run away with a barkeep, Tahlia sees an opportunity.

Talia is half-fae. Wrong blood. Wrong ancestors. Wrong everything. She'll never be allowed to become a Mist Knight, the dragon riding warriors who defend the kingdoms wild north coast. But when the noble female she squires for runs off with a bar keep, she decides to take the nobles place, risk death by fire, and sneak into the tournament that will name the next Mist Knight.

A mysterious new commander. A grumpy dragon-riding captain keeping secrets. And one half-fae heroine who absolutely refuses to mind her own business. When the Mist Knights' commander dies under mysterious circumstances, Tahlia has questions. Unfortunately, the person she suspects is their brand-new commander. Fantastic. Accusing her without proof could cost Tahlia everything—including her place among the Mist Knights and the soul-bonded dragon she fought so hard to claim.

When the Fae king sends dragon riders Tahlia and Marius on an undercover mission to recover the invisible crown, an artifact that gives the wearer the ability to control minds—and a host of other nasty things—it’s clear there will be danger. For one thing, the madman currently in possession of the crown has a bit of a god complex. But danger is nothing new. And the mission will finally allow Tahlia a chance to cross the Veil and explore the world of humans, not to mention making Marius wear a ridiculous costume, which is pretty much Tahlia’s favorite part of the whole thing.

Tahlia, Marius, Fara, and the rest of the dragon-riding Mist Knights are off on another mission. When the order flies north to fight the pirates harassing the coastline, they discover the infamous Eelsmen have a new high captain. Not only is this individual unknown, he is an Unseelie—a powerful Seer from the Realm of Night.
