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

　　In the tavern, Sylvin purchased bowls of stew and tankards of flat beer, and they selected a table tucked away in the back corner, where they could place their backs against the wall looking into the chamber. As evening fell, the tavern began to fill, the vast majority of patrons being men looking for a cheap meal and drunk, followed by a quick tumble with one of the harlots that used the rooms in the loft.


　　Sylvin allowed his hood to slide back off his hair and encouraged Valirian to drink enough that the human forgot to keep his blanket up over his face. He saw enough of the men look towards them throughout the course of the meal that he was confident that the right ears would hear of their presence.


　　“Upstairs,” he directed Valirian when they were both finished the meal.


　　“It’s early…” Valirian commented but rose obediently.


　　“It might be the only chance we get to sleep,” Sylvin predicted.
