The love of her life is gone, leaving her hollow and consumed by grief. In the midst of this despair, one venomous remark from Merlin—yes, that Merlin—sends her over the edge, pushing her into a reckless new purpose: bounty hunting across the Splinters of reality with her red dragon, Goch. One target fuels her obsession: Mordred and his dragon. It's the only thing keeping her from drowning in sorrow. But the hunter’s guild has left Mordred’s bounty up for grabs, and it’s already claimed lives. Worse, as a realm walker, Mordred’s impossible to track across the splinters, driving Megan mad with frustration and leaving her too much time to think. Out of options, she grudgingly teams up with Merlin. Powerful, legendary, and hard to ignore, he should be the perfect ally—except she loathes him with the fire of a million burning suns. Then Mordred makes a move, reaching out to both of them. The hunt is back on, but Merlin’s shadowy past is catching up, turning an already dangerous mission into a deadly gamble. Can Megan capture Mordred, survive Merlin’s demons, and make it out alive? Or will her pursuit lead to her ultimate downfall?

Megan has lost the dragon mage Enfys to Mordred. Now she has only a short amount of time before she must present Enfys for a wellness check with the Irish dragon queen.

Only nothing is easy... moreMegan has lost the dragon mage Enfys to Mordred. Now she has only a short amount of time before she must present Enfys for a wellness check with the Irish dragon queen. Consumed with guilt and fear, Megan has to find the dragon mage, free her, and hope that she is forgiven before the Irish queen decides Megan is only good for a tasty snack when her highness is feeling hangry. Only nothing is easy. Especially when you throw in a few Faerie pirates—things tend to go sideways when you least expect it. To make it easier on herself, Megan has also agreed to a temporary truce with Merlin. He’ll stop constantly reminding her she’s human, and she won’t poke him with Excalibur every time he opens his mouth. It’s a start. Meanwhile, Sorcha is upset, the bounty hunter’s guild needs both of them to keep working, and Megan’s back to the question of how she’ll find an ancient Fae mage, who now has a magical dragon, across all the splinters of reality. Merlin’s magic and her own borrowed magic better be enough, otherwise this is going to be a very short quest. Dragons, besides being a girl’s best friend, are grumpy at best, and utterly merciless at worst. Megan knows she’s tasty, she just doesn’t want it proven posthumously. less

Megan is a low stakes girl. Making up with Merlin, no problem. Keeping the dragon queens of Earth from eating her, done. However, bringing Mordred into the Hunter's Guild for punishment and going back to regular bounties seems to be evading her. Mordred has other ideas that don’t align with Megan’s plans, and since he's usually ten steps ahead, her low stakes bounty is becoming way too much trouble... moreMegan is a low stakes girl. Making up with Merlin, no problem. Keeping the dragon queens of Earth from eating her, done. However, bringing Mordred into the Hunter's Guild for punishment and going back to regular bounties seems to be evading her. Mordred has other ideas that don’t align with Megan’s plans, and since he's usually ten steps ahead, her low stakes bounty is becoming way too much trouble. Meanwhile, Mordred has decided to reunite the Splintered Realms, and he only wants to sacrifice Earth, Faerie, and Avalon to do it. The stakes just got high--and they are definitely too high to nope out of. Megan only has her teen dragon, her borrowed magic, Merlin the enchanter, and a few allies from across the splinters of reality to save the universe. If Megan and her allies can’t stop Mordred, it’s the end of everything as she knows it. High stakes suck, but someone has to save the universe, it might as well be her. Enjoy this high octane tale with dragons, dragonriding, realm walking, fighting, and a slow burn enemies to lovers romance. less
