In Search of Pride - Crimson Realm Chronicles, #1

The gods smile upon a weary warrior... Brenn, a warrior returning home from battle, rests by a tempting magical pool and meets a siren who changes his life forever. Bound by a curse, he must find a way to save his pride. He returns from a war far from his home to find that his village is destroyed and his pride missing. With the help of his guardian dragon, Ciara, he sets out to find his missing family and pride.
After Ciara saves Brenn's life twice, he begins to realize that he is not as invincible as he once thought. He must accept his limitations and the help of his lifemate to keep him safe.
