Dragons in the Wind Series by J. Kearston

I’ve been marked for death, but these dragons are determined to set me free. All shifters are cursed, but me more than anyone. With barely any abilities to speak of, staying two steps ahead of the monster stalking my every move has been nearly impossible. But a freak robbery that goes awry brings my life on the run crashing to a bloody halt. I need to run again, but my escape from the hospital is complicated by a doctor with eerily colored eyes that see far more than I want him to... moreI’ve been marked for death, but these dragons are determined to set me free. All shifters are cursed, but me more than anyone. With barely any abilities to speak of, staying two steps ahead of the monster stalking my every move has been nearly impossible. But a freak robbery that goes awry brings my life on the run crashing to a bloody halt. I need to run again, but my escape from the hospital is complicated by a doctor with eerily colored eyes that see far more than I want him to. He and his friends have decided I’m theirs to protect, want me to believe I’m safe with them, but I know the truth. I will never be safe. Not when freedom comes at a price I’m not willing to pay. Mark-mates are supposed to be someone’s missing piece, but somehow my jagged edges fit into three different puzzles. Trading one captor for three is out of the question, yet my stalker won’t turn a blind eye to Stone, Kodiak, and Raiden. Not when they’ll shatter his delusions that I’m fated to be his. They’re everything that he’s always feared, and I don’t think even I’ll escape his wrath this time. less

When a dragon sinks their claws into you, it leaves more than a mark. It’s a promise they’ll never let you go. When my stalker closes in, my fated mates convince me to return to the place I swore I'd never see again; Khalida, the shifter safe haven. I sought refuge there once before, only to end up drugged and once again fighting for my freedom... moreWhen a dragon sinks their claws into you, it leaves more than a mark. It’s a promise they’ll never let you go. When my stalker closes in, my fated mates convince me to return to the place I swore I'd never see again; Khalida, the shifter safe haven. I sought refuge there once before, only to end up drugged and once again fighting for my freedom. But Raiden, Kodiak, and Stone swear their home in the mountains is the safest place I could hide while actually having a shot at a real life, doing everything in their power to distract me from the monster creeping closer in the shadows. Even going so far as to unleash the city’s secret weapon; Carina. Raiden’s sister is every bit the fiery dragon I'm not, a violent whirlwind that refuses to be contained, and drags me into her unique brand of chaos. Little by little, she chips away at my defenses, pushes my limits in the best ways, and helps me see what I've been missing all these years in hiding. The life I’ve always wanted is being offered to me on a silver platter, all I need to do is claim it. As if anything in my life could ever be that easy. Malcolm won't ever stop hunting me, so there’s only one thing I can do. Stop running. It might just kill us all, but at least I’ll finally be free. less

The scales of Fate have never tipped in my favor. You'd think years of running and fear would overwhelm me when the monster hunting me makes his move. You'd think I'd lose hope when he rips me away from my mates and the first taste of safety I've had in years. But Malcolm should know better than anyone that dragons don't break…. We get revenge. And mine is so fiery and epic that the whole world gets a front-row seat... moreThe scales of Fate have never tipped in my favor. You'd think years of running and fear would overwhelm me when the monster hunting me makes his move. You'd think I'd lose hope when he rips me away from my mates and the first taste of safety I've had in years. But Malcolm should know better than anyone that dragons don't break…. We get revenge. And mine is so fiery and epic that the whole world gets a front-row seat. In escaping one predator, I've created thousands more as dragons and shifters are revealed to the world, and the revelation makes my mates even more determined to do whatever it takes to keep me safe. Raiden, Stone, and Kodiak are dangerous, but so is the rest of the world. And unlike them, it doesn't know the meaning of the word mercy. With humans and shifters alike calling for our blood, I don't know if I'll ever find the peace I crave. .. Not when the scales of Fate have tipped toward destruction. This is a darker themed paranormal romance where the heroine loves all of her men, and contains some graphic details and darker topics, so please read the note in the beginning of the book before choosing to read. It's the last of a three book series that follows the same characters.  It's set in the same universe as my Thrown to the Wolves series, and takes place at nearly the same time frame. While it can be read independently, you might enjoy the character crossovers and references more if you begin with that series -again, NOT necessary to enjoy this one, though. less
