DAUGHTER OF THE WIND

Zara is desperate to save her people from the eagle riders who allow their birds to prey on their sentient, bonded horses. When she suddenly manifests wind magic capable of knocking giant eagles from the sky, her people believe she could change the tide of a devastating war. But her power comes at a terrible price: the slow destruction of the psychic bond with her horse. So when a treaty is proposed in exchange for her hand in marriage to the enemy’s emperor, Zara makes the sacrifice. 

With her mare at her side, she soon finds that the emperor’s palace is a more hostile environment than the battlefield. Her future husband hides a terrible secret, and if unleashed, it could swallow the entire world.

Sworn to protect the future empress, Commander Talon of the Eagle Riders quickly realizes that Zara is more than she seems. She is the key to keeping the emperor from destroying the empire. But as they fight their growing attraction, Talon and Zara must unite their people and uncover the truth about her power…even if it costs them everything.
