With the battle of Wardhurst Palace over, everyone is heading back home and recovering in their respective ways. For Kali and Brutus, that means navigating their fated bond.


Kali is finally heading home after months of fighting and traveling with the allied forces of Yuiba. The urge to

return to Stonescar, nestled in the Shimmering Peaks, is something she has yearned for since her travels began. Though she’s not coming home alone…


Brutus, Kali’s fated mate, has decided to join her and finally begin his life’s purpose. Not only is he uprooting his

life, but he must now integrate himself into everyday weredragon society at Kali’s request, on top of getting her eldest brother’s approval to court her.


With the upcoming Nightwake Festival, will love bloom during the darkest nights of the year? Or will Brutus have to coax Kali’s growing feelings out of her?
