Power and riches mean nothing if you have nothing to live for.

A lifetime of wealth beyond imagine and a throne to rule have kept the pain at bay. With a tragic beginning I was prepared for a tragic end: the death of our kind and the final reign of the dragons.

And then there was her.

She's only a pawn in a greater war, a captive and completely at my mercy.

Her striking eyes are filled with hatred, but she can't hide her heat. And I can't hide my desire. Nor can I contain a fire I thought had long ago been extinguished.

I will burn the world before I let anyone take her from me.
