Tides of the Storm

The scaled warrior saved me from the river and made me his prisoner, ignoring the mate bond forming between us.
I needed one daring diplomatic mission to step out of Kael’s shadow and prove I was more than his little sister.
To establish myself as the top Storm Eagle diplomat, I flew into enemy territory, determined to broker peace with the Deep Runners.
My mission backfired spectacularly when the reclusive water clan shot me down.
Before I could drown, their brooding Sentinel defied orders and rescued me.
Torin is cold. Suspicious. Forbidden. And inconceivably—destined to be mine.
His gray-green eyes track my movements with an intensity that burns; my hands itch to caress his iridescent scales.
And when our magic collides, when he tends to my broken wing, the world around us explodes.
He says sky-dwellers are poison. I say he’s the most infuriating male I’ve ever met.
But when extremists come hunting us, our powers merge into something that feels like destiny.
And when I’m drowning in an underwater prison, he’s shares his breath with me, refusing to let me drown.
There’s a coup brewing beneath the surface that could kill thousands of ground dwellers.
The only way to stop this genocide is to trust the Sentinel who makes my heart race.
He was my captor. Now he is the one I can’t live without.
