About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A dragon rider romantasy of forbidden magic, a stolen crown, an ancient prophecy, and the wife he had to win back. In a world of ice-courts and star-light, frost-court noblewoman Sera Vael must steal a star-touched relic from the lord who despises her, or watch her sister be sold into a forced marriage. The relic holds a curse that will bind them in trust or ruin them both. Sera Vael has one chance to save her sister from a fate worse than death: steal the Star-Crown from the Star Court’s most dangerous lord, Kaelen Ashford. But Kaelen is no ordinary enemy—he is a dragon rider bonded to a silver wyrm, a man whose hatred for her frost-court lineage runs as deep as the ice in her veins. When Sera infiltrates his fortress, she discovers the crown is not just a relic—it is the key to an ancient prophecy that could shatter their world. The curse awakens the moment she touches it: they must trust each other with their deepest secrets, or the crown will consume everything they love. Kaelen must choose: let the woman who betrayed his family steal the crown and doom his court, or trust her with his most dangerous truth. Sera must decide: sacrifice her sister’s freedom, or risk her own heart to the man who despises her. The impossible choice: trust the enemy, or lose the only family she has left. For fans of Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series and Jennifer L. Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash, Courts of Aethelgard delivers a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, a dragon rider bond, and a high-stakes heist through a world of magical courts, hidden prophecies, and forbidden magic. If you love morally gray heroes, fierce heroines who fight for their family, and a romance that burns through ice and starlight, you’ll devour this book. Read next: A Court of Embers and Ash (Book 2) continues the saga of the courts, the curse, and the dragon riders who must unite or fall.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
