Kathrael is a nobody - an escaped Rhytheeri slave with a face disfigured by an acid attack and a giant chip on her shoulder. Despite being alone in the world, with no possessions other than the clothes on her back, she has vowed to lead a rebellion against the brutal overseers who once owned her. First, though, she's going to murder the cowardly bastard of a shape-shifter who was prophesied to save them all, and didn't. The man who destroyed her life. She's fully prepared to die along the way, if that's what it takes. But falling in love with both a eunuch priest and a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter? Well... admittedly, that part she really didn't see coming. Gritty and poignant, The Lion Mistress: Book 1 explores the strength of the human spirit, and the ways in which love can overcome the scars of the past. Author's note: The Lion Mistress series is a continuation of The Eburosi Chronicles, and a companion to The Horse Mistress: Books 1-4. It contains graphic violence and graphic sex (including sex between men and consensual voyeurism), along with references to underage prostitution and past miscarriage. It is intended for a mature audience.

On the far fringes of the Isles, ancient powers ready themselves for a titanic struggle in which human beings are mere pawns--or fodder! Reptilian and insect monsters from out of the ages march on the kingdom, commanded by wizards no longer human or never human at all.

Watching them all from the blackness of a tomb walled off in time and space, the Mistress waits... And her fangs drip poison!

The survival of the last living dragons rests with me and my misfit friends. So... yeah. No pressure. Mind you, this whole thing would be easier if two of our number weren't hell-bent on killing each other. Rayth and Nyx have both been hiding secrets for a very long time, but now they face a choice. Let go of their ugly pasts, or watch the future burn to the ground. We won't be able to hide five hungry, growing dragons in the mountains forever. As soon as someone catches sight of them, every soldier in Utrea will be after us. And there's no way we can fight for our dragons' survival when we're this busy fighting amongst ourselves. I've always been the queen of questionable life choices, but falling for four proud, stubborn, damaged men at the same time is a new benchmark even for me. What we're building with the dragons-and each other-could be amazing beyond belief. It could also end in tragedy beyond measure. If I want it to be the former, it looks like I need to start banging some heads together. Otherwise, our hopes and dreams could well go down in flames. * * * The Dragon Mistress by USA Today bestseller R. A.
