Forsaking the Dragon - Flames of Kalleen, #3

7, 000 years ago a lie was born to hide a destructive truth-a Kalleen Princess defended her Amethystine love to her dying breath. For millennia, Amethystine dragons have been banished from the Kalleen Kingdom, their very existence erased from the annals of history. But some claim, in the icy wastelands to which they were exiled, the Amethystines survived and wait for an opportunity to reclaim their land and birthright. To protect her kingdom from the wicked and powerful temples that challenge her rule, Dragon Queen Amelia ventures into the ice-swept mountains in search of legends.
The path proves treacherous, and the dragons she seeks may be the greatest threat she has yet faced. Accompanying Amelia on this journey, Conner will stop at nothing to protect her, hoping his devotion and loyalty will be enough to overcome the secrets and family legacy he has kept hidden from the woman he loves. As Amelia delves deeper into Amethystine lands, she must contend with the ancestral hatred from those her kingdom wronged centuries before, while finding a way to convince the Amethystines that if they fail to stand together both kingdoms will fall.
To forge such an alliance, the Amethystine council demands a shocking price, one Amelia may not be willing to pay.
