Of Blood & Banes (The Arterian, #2)

Secret never die. They’re just buried in a grave.
And graves don’t stay hidden forever.

Katerina Blackwind and Daeja made it to the Dragon Lands. It should have been the key to their freedom.

Instead, it’s only the beginning.

The King is closing in—desperate for the one thing Kat possesses. The one thing that’s been missing for ages. The one thing he’ll tear the entire kingdom apart to claim.

Worse, Kat is caught between two men who broke her trust—Cole, whose lie shattered her heart, and Darian, who isn’t just a stranger… he is the enemy. With betrayal at every turn, Kat must decide who—if anyone—she can trust before it’s too late.

But the secrets of the past lie in a place no one has set foot in for over a century—guarded by magic and buried under years of forgotten history and bloodshed.

If Kat fails to uncover the truth in time, the last of the dragons—and everyone she loves—will be lost forever.

And their blood will be on her hands.
