Talon the Black (Dragonwall Saga, #1)

A dying dragon brought her to Dragonwall. A broken king may never let her leave.

Claire Evans is just a small-town girl from Indiana, but when a wounded dragon falls from the sky, her world is turned upside down. Cyrus is a dragon shifter—one of Dragonwall's six royal protectors—and saving him sets Claire on a dangerous path. She'll be carried across his kingdom with a secret that could change everything. Bound by an unbreakable promise, she must confront Dragonwall's enigmatic and troubled king—the scarred, mateless Talon.

King Talon's rule is unraveling. Hounded by his advisors to marry, burdened by old scars, and beset by a rising enemy, he has more pressing concerns than creating an heir. But Claire's presence sparks something neither of them expected: a slow-burning connection that could either save Dragonwall—or destroy it.
