The Last Dragon King (The Kings of Avalier, 1)

A royal marriage contest. A forbidden power. A growing threat to her heart...and survival.

Eighteen-year-old Arwen Novakson barely has enough magic to matter. So, when the Dragon King announces his search for a powerful wife, Arwen knows she won't be in the running. But the magic sniffers visit her small village and command her to present herself at the castle anyway. It turns out, the secret of Arwen's magic might be as terrifying as her growing feelings for the king...and if he ever discovered the truth about her, he would have to kill her.

Fast paced and full of dragon shapeshifting, political intrigue, and charged battles, this YA fantasy romance from USA Today bestselling author Leia Stone is perfect for fans of Holly Black and Fourth Wing.

Feel the emotional highs of a secret heritage awakening, the tension between duty and desire, and a slow-burn romance with heartbreaking stakes in the first book of the Kings of Avalier series.
