Magick and Lead: Dragons and Aces Series, Book 2

About this book

The kingdom has fallen, and Essa’s world lies in ruins. Blaming the catastrophe on the man she once loved—Charlie, a daring biplane pilot from the enemy nation across the sea—Essa is left to lead her surviving dragon riders in a desperate fight for survival. When she discovers that the young dragon bonded to Charlie is a rare and powerful stellhan, she realizes she holds the key to reclaiming her homeland. There is only one catch: the dragon’s bond is unbreakable while its rider lives, forcing Essa to make an impossible choice. Driven by duty and vengeance, Essa crosses the ocean to infiltrate Charlie’s urban world of skyscrapers and jazz. Her mission is clear: track down her former lover, sever the bond, and eliminate the traitor. Yet, stepping into enemy territory brings her face-to-face with the man who broke her heart, only to find that their connection is far from extinguished. Featuring the high-stakes tension of an enemies-to-lovers romance, *Magick and Lead* blends gritty fantasy with 1920s-inspired aesthetics. As Essa and Charlie navigate a dangerous web of court intrigue and divided loyalties, they must decide if their lingering love is a weakness to be exploited or their last hope for redemption.
