What's a dragon to do when the two cornerstones of their society are in opposition? Do they choose Country or Family? Nova is faced with her fated mate being the Aurumden sniper that shot at Gabriel decades ago and her cousin's mate. Nova can't fight the same instinct driving Jael but in the opposite direction. Jael wants him dead, Nova wants him alive. She doesn't know whether to accept him or walk away, her heart says one thing and her head the other. For decades Jordan kept a secret from his family. The woman he believed his mate, isn't. Now she's chasing after and become more and more obsessed with her first love. When offered a new mission for Kaldona, he chooses the mission over a relationship that never was. Duty and Family are the hardest ties to break, but if your duty is to the wrong person or ideal is it really wrong to break it?
