The Dragon Beneath the Rain: A Dying King. A Dangerous Prince. A Dragon Hidden in the Rain. Romance Fantasy

The king is dying, and the only sorceress who might save him is certain she is not powerful enough.

Elara has built a quiet life around small spells, a leaking cottage, and the daughter she is raising alone. Then Julian—the scandalous, sharp-tongued prince known as the Shadowborn—appears in the rain with an impossible request. His brother Rowan returned from a hunt feverish, haunted, and slipping deeper into a magical sickness no physician can touch.

At Moonspire Palace, Elara finds more than a curse.

Something moves beyond the windows whenever the rain thickens. Something with scales, impossible eyes, and magic that seems designed to turn fear against its victim. Julian stays beside her through sleepless nights and failed remedies, revealing an unexpected tenderness beneath the dangerous reputation she has every reason to distrust.

The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes for Elara to ignore the attraction growing between them—or the feeling that the creature hunting the king is connected to a part of her own past she would rather leave buried.

The dragon is not attacking at random.

The rain is hiding more than a monster.

And if Elara wants to save Rowan, she may have to face the one secret she never expected to come looking for her.
