Fate brought them together, will destiny tear them apart?

Lord Sylvin of the Silver Dragon has two missions in life, to keep and protect the Lady Yelena of Elliard, and to fill the gaps of his past. To do the first, he trains as a knight with the Fae Kings army, and in their war against the humans, wins honours, titles, and land – but the years apart from Yelena do not come without a cost, and when he returns, it is with a mistake that both holds promise for their future together, and threatens to destroy it.

Mated to The Dragon Lord

　　Yelena rehearsed what she would say to her maids throughout the time that Eustice and Nareena attended to her, and only, finally, when she was ready to depart but for the dress, Yelena sent Nareena from the room on an errand and turned to face Eustice.


　　In the end, she did not need to say it. Eustice’s face crumpled. “No, My Lady,” she protested, but there was surrender to the tone.


　　Yelena swallowed heavily and she gestured helpless. “What will happen if I do not, Eustice?” She asked. “Sylvin will be killed.”


　　Eustice drew in a shuddering breath and after a long moment nodded, and she turned and went into the antechamber, returning after several long moments with the beautiful cloak and dress, and a delicate pair of slippers. She laid them upon the bed and then folded them with great care, before wrapping them in a cloth and knotting the corners to form a bundle.
