A City of Flames (Book 1 of ACOF)
"You really intrigue me, Nara," He flashes another smile, but it disappears just as fast.
A confession that makes my cheeks burn.
"I intrigue a lot of people." I try to control my breathing. "Most are always bad."
He shakes his head slowly, not wanting to pry his eyes away from my rising chest. "You intrigue me in a different sense."
"And what sense is that?"
"In the sense that I ask myself... why is it—" His neck bobs as he swallows hard, the tip of his finger now grazing the side of my uncovered thigh."—That I always find myself so drawn to you?"
For Naralía Ambrose, hunting and trapping creatures aren't enough for her. Not when she knows dreaded dragons and shifters such as the one that killed her father still lurk in the depths of Emberwell.
Moving to the infamous City of Flames and becoming a part of the queen's dragon Venators, is all she dreams of in order to continue her father's legacy.
So, when an attack occurs in her village, and this opportunity finally arises for Naralía, she quickly finds herself uncovering secrets to the city. Ones that will make her question her views over the world she lives in and whether she can trust the people around her...
With a burning desire to hunt dragons, an impertinent thief she must capture, and a tempting romance brewing, Naralía will soon question where her loyalties truly lie.
