The Assassin

Meet Zephyr, the last surviving air dragon, who has spent over a century searching for her soulmate. She finally believes she's found one in Avani, the sole remaining earth dragon and the last male. Together, they create a powerful bond, giving birth to Ancalagon, the last pure dragon. Enter Ishir, a Bengal tiger shifter. Before being captured and forced into an arena, he formed a friendship with Avani. There, he crossed paths with Tana, a fire dragon, and later her hybrid daughter and Lycan mate. Ishir has dedicated himself to rescuing shifters and missing humans for years. At a meeting to plan a strike against the arenas, Ishir encounters Zephyr and discovers they are fated mates. Despite her overwhelming joy at finding her mate, Zephyr initially rejects Ishir due to the recent arrival of her son. However, a dragon's bond with their mate is unbreakable, and in a moment of vulnerability, they share a passionate night together. Tragedy strikes when Zephyr returns home to find her son, Ancalagon, kidnapped by hunters. Fueled by a desperate desire to protect her child, she embarks on a mission to find him. In a desperate attempt to secure her son's life, she agrees to work for the lead hunter, compromising her very identity as a protector. Now, Ishir must race against time to locate Ancalagon, safeguard the shifting community, and help Zephyr resist the darkness she's being drawn into. Will love be strong enough to save them all, or will Zephyr lose herself in her quest to save her son?
