Talon the Black (Dragonwall) - Melissa Mitchell

"When a dragon falls, a kingdom awaits."

Claire Evans is just a small-town girl from Indiana, but when a wounded dragon falls from the sky, her world is turned upside down. A dragon shifter, and one of Dragonwall's six royal protectors, Cyrus is no ordinary creature. Saving him sets Claire on a dangerous path that will carry her across his kingdom with a secret that could change everything. Bound by an unbreakable promise, she must confront Dragonwall's enigmatic and troubled king-the scarred, mateless Talon.

King Talon's rule is unraveling. Hounded by his advisors to marry, burdened by old scars, and beset by a rising enemy, he has more pressing concerns than creating an heir. But Claire's presence sparks something neither of them expected: a slow-burning connection that could either save Dragonwall-or destroy it.

In this epic fantasy series, where modern sensibilities clash with medieval traditions, adventure, magic, and romance collide. Join Claire as she's swept into a world of danger, dragons, and destiny, where every choice has far-reaching consequences.
