A dragon rider. A biplane pilot. Two enemy nations, one epic love story.
Essa may be the queen's daughter, but she's the lowest-ranked of all the Skrathan—elite dragon riders tasked with defending their kingdom. When her sister is killed by enemy pilots from across the sea, Essa has a chance to compete in a deadly challenge to replace her as leader of the Skrathan. But because she has only one arm, no one believes she can win. When a brash, handsome stranger washes up on shore claiming to be a reporter, he offers to train her in the ways of flying. It soon becomes clear he's much more than he seems. Unbeknownst to Essa, he's the famed Silver Wraith, the greatest ace in history, who crash-landed in enemy territory. Essa can't trust him—but he seems to be the only one who believes in her. As the final challenge approaches, the attraction between Essa and Charlie becomes unbearable. And malevolent factions in the court are watching and plotting. Will Essa be able to win the challenge and claim the crown, or will her desire for Charlie bring ruin upon her—and the entire kingdom? Dragons and Aces is an enemies-to-lovers romantasy series featuring a morally gray love interest, mistaken identity, court intrigue, and spice. For mature listeners.
