About this book

Vale Tenebris hides a dangerous secret in plain sight. Living among magic-hunting zealots, she survives by staying invisible, but her carefully constructed life shatters when she is forced to unleash forbidden power to save her sister. Exposed and facing certain execution, Vale is suddenly thrust into a world of myth and peril by two dragon shifters who claim she is the only soul capable of unbinding their cursed king.

This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes fantasy with the irresistible tension of a reverse-harem dynamic. Thrust into an unwanted arranged marriage with a beastly king, Vale must navigate a treacherous court where daggers are hidden in every shadow. As she struggles to control the volatile magic burning beneath her skin, she finds herself drawn to the three growly, protective shifters tasked with keeping her alive.

For readers seeking a spicy, fast-paced escape, this story delivers a perfect cocktail of found-family warmth and intense, multi-partner intimacy. With the fate of an entire realm resting on her shoulders, Vale must embrace her destiny before her own unstable powers destroy everything she has fought to protect. Prepare to be consumed by a world where dragons rule and every touch comes with a price.

Good

August 22, 2024

WARNING: This doesn’t quite end with a cliffhanger, but there’s definitely a book hook! It rates a 3/5 on my trauma scale, so nothing that sets the teeth gnashing, but just so you’re warned! In a bid to save her sister, Vale Tenebris uses the forbidden magic within her, and is put out for sacrifice by the evil leader of the guild. She’s rescued by a dragon, the enemies of the guild, and ostensibly the ones who want to kill every Luxa witch like Vale. Fortunately for Vale, these dragons, Kian...

Multi person sex scenes

It’s good but I feel like it needs a disclosure: Vale doesn’t just have one mate… she has three. So all of the sex scenes involve 3-4 people. I was not prepared for that and I think it’s a little much ) One person found this helpful

A marvelous read!

Magic. Dragons. A curse that starts it all. This story is packed full of danger, thrills, shocking events and a whole mess of 'wtf' moments. But, it also has a lot of heart. Vale is my new spirit animal. She is a strong, intelligent, spirited young woman who has been through the ringer a few times. She's slaving away in the mines when her sister is put in danger. This event sets off a long line of dominos that end with her in a world she never imagined. Torn between family loyalty, trusting...

dragon shifters x fated mates x why choose

May 29, 2025

I’m feeling a reading slump and what better thing to fix it than a why choose dragon romantasy? This is very easy to read with faced paced writing, multiple pov, more focus on spice and jealous MMCs than a deep plot, and ends on a minor cliffhanger. Read this if you’re in the mood for… - why choose - dragon shifters - fated mates - the chosen one - hidden magic - bad guy rebellion Overall, I enjoyed the story! It was a bit predictable and expected but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment....

Couldn’t put it down!!!

Let me first preface this review with the fact that I’m not really a “why choose/spicey 🌶️” fan. I don’t usually go for these types of books. I am however a huge fan of Annie Anderson so I wanted to give it a go. I am thrilled that I did!! First thing, this author is amazing at creating characters and worlds that you never want to leave! This series start is no different! I love how much personality all the characters have. These characters feel like real people that you’d want to hang out...
