Bedelth the Orange (Dragonwall Series #5)

It's time to reclaim Fort Squall. Claire knew this day would come, but she's not prepared for the mental toll it takes. Slaughtering an entire race sits heavy with her. When glaring signs align with her misgivings, she takes matters into her own hands. For better or worse, she intends to do what feels right, to trust her heart and not her logic.

But this is just the beginning. Her drive to be a good ruler has her questioning herself, questioning everything. Perhaps she's simply not cut out for this. Her mate disagrees. He's determined to make this easy for her, to ease her into the position she was always meant to hold.

With their Bonding Ceremony looming, what could go wrong? Kane has other plans. He's been secretly working with Oshea across the Dragonfire Sea, hoping to undermine King Talon's rule. When a host of Blood Bats and an Oshean army threatens to destroy everything they've worked towards, Claire's abilities as Dragonwall's future queen are put to a true test.
