A slow-burn urban fantasy romance where the most dangerous monsters are the ones you can’t see, and sometimes, the one you can save.
Ten months after the Shimmer rewrote the world, James, once a law student, now a black‑scaled dragon feared by all, hides in the tunnels beneath London, clinging to the last painful scraps of his humanity. Theo, exhausted from juggling two jobs and university, finds a starving creature the world calls a monster and instead sees a man who desperately needs kindness.
As Theo’s steady compassion draws James back toward the light, their fragile bond becomes a lifeline, one that offers safety, belonging, and a love James never believed he could have again. But when the Hunters turn their sights on Theo, James must decide whether to unleash the terrifying power of his dragon to save the only person who ever truly saw him, or lose his one chance at freedom.
