About this book

For two millennia, Lord has guarded his heart and his dragon, waiting for a fated mate who would never betray his kind. As the last of the Drake brothers to remain unattached, he has spent his long existence caring for everyone but himself. But one impulsive act of mercy changes everything when he rescues a dying stranger, only to discover a terrifying truth: he has accidentally bonded with a dragon slayer.

This high-stakes shifter romance serves as the breathtaking conclusion to the beloved Drake Security series. The tension is palpable as Lord struggles to reconcile his primal instincts with the reality that his fated mate is his natural enemy. With his brothers’ suspicions rising and the slayer’s own kin closing in, Lord must decide if he is willing to risk his life and legacy for a man who was destined to destroy him.

Perfect for fans of intense paranormal romance, this story delivers a powerful emotional payoff for readers who have followed the Drake brothers from the beginning. It is a heartfelt exploration of whether love can truly conquer ancient prejudices and lethal secrets. Dive into this final installment to discover if Lord and Alrick can survive their forbidden connection, or if their spark will leave them both burned.

I need more!!!

November 20, 2024

I devoured every single one of the books in this series. They are so freaking good. I want to cry because they are finished. I love every single character and I feel as if I’ve taken this journey with them. I’m so happy that Balriss/Lord finally found someone to take care of him. He’s spent his whole life taking care of his brothers, never taking the time to take care of himself. I absolutely love Alrick. He’s perfect for Lord and he has a heart of gold. This story and the ones previous, were...

great ending

Yay it was so nice to see Lord find his person! I have been waiting for him to get his story. Always the brother to take care of everyone else and to make sure they were ok. He gets his HEA with his perfect mate. And the chaos that happens is so the opposite of Lord that it was perfect for him. This is an opposites attract kind of story but oh so sweet too. The writing was great and the smexy had what I love about shifter books. This was a great ending to the series with all the family...

Great story for Lord and finish of the series

November 14, 2024

Lord being the only one left of the brothers without a mate. We got a fantastic story to finish the series and for Lord and Alrick to find each other. Although as usual for me, I could continue to read Mika Nix stories forever. )

Amazing and Worth the Wait!

Lord’s finally gotten his story and it’s seriously incredible to get to know him. I loved his passion and getting to see his emotions. Alrick is sweetly unexpected and the way these 2 come to life together is incredible. I love every book in this series but their romance is something special. Honestly couldn’t put this book down. 10 out of 5. Because I just loved getting burned! )

My favorite line in the book

June 27, 2025

My favorite line in the book: “I’ll put the kettle on.”. “Lovely.” Xanthis smiles again. “It’s barbaric to discuss strategy and bloodshed without tea.” ) One person found this helpful
