Corsair's Curse

Dragon slaying isn't for the faint of heart, but it suits Soleil Eldemyer just fine. Sure, the pay isn't great, and the hazards are plentiful, but overall, things are going well for the mage…until Davyn and Lukas Greybrow walk back into her life.

My name is Soleil Eldemyer, and I'm a dragon slayer. It's an unusual profession for a woman, but that doesn't matter right now. You simply need to know that's the reason Davyn and Lukas Greybrow find me tied to a sacrificial pyre in the middle of Hill Haven.

And who are Davyn and Lukas Greybrow? I'm surprised you don't know—you must be the only ones in Kalae who don't. They're brothers, sons of a noble line, and possibly the most eligible men in all the kingdom. They're also beast whisperers, known for their strange twin gifts, and the very last people a slayer wants showing up when she's in the middle of a job.

Let's just say things go awry.

So awry, in fact, I end up on their ship, looking for pirate treasure and suffering from a childhood love that should have been snuffed out long ago.

Oh, I forgot to mention I'm in love with Davyn? Well, I am. Or at least…I was. It's complicated now, mostly thanks to Lukas. He's the brother I never noticed—a friend and nothing more.

But, heaven help me, I'm noticing him now. His quick smiles and playful banter are confusing my heart—a dangerous distraction when we're sailing into treacherous waters.

But I've gotten ahead of myself. Maybe I should start at the beginning…
