Wings of Cruelty and Flame
(2025)(The first book in the Heir of Wyvara series)
A novel by Lysandra Glass and Leigh Kelsey
House of the Dragon meets Bride in this enemies to lovers, arranged marriage fantasy romance
Varidian Saber is a ruthless wyvern rider. A cold, calculated killer. A prince with more power than any other fae. And now, he’s my husband.
Marrying a prince is any girl’s dream. But I’m the reject of my fae house and the bearer of a forbidden power that’s already killed one person. I see the union for what it really is: a cage.
My family think Varidian will tame me. Maybe even kill me. But my new husband is enthralled by the darkness in me. Obsessed with my sharp tongue and sharper knives. He doesn’t want to contain me; he wants to unbind me.
When a wyvern chooses me as her rider and proves I’m not unworthy, everything I’ve been trained to believe about myself shatters.
I’m not weak or an abomination. I have more power than all my family combined. And with a dark church usurping the royal family, and a long-dormant magic returning to the world, I’m going to need every drop of power I can get.
Correction: we’re going to need power.
Because my husband has secrets. One is unforgivable. The other will get us killed.
Wings of Cruelty and Flame is a steamy fantasy romance set in a Morocco-inspired world on the brink of uprising, with cruel fae, powerful wyvern, dangerous secrets, and one utterly obsessed, wyvern riding husband. This is the first book in the Heir of Wyvara series.
