Book excerpt: Derek is a battle-scarred hero, driven to one last adventure after the woman he loves chooses another man. Luan is an outcast among her own people, treated as an abomination by her kin. Together they can save the world...or destroy it. When Lord Derek of Arivale encounters an old enemy during a routine escort mission, he has no idea he is about to be plunged into a journey filled with gods, demons, and a dark cult searching for the key to the return of an ancient evil. A calculating queen promises him a dragon's egg as a reward for what seems like a straightforward quest. He travels from a wealthy kingdom to a land plagued by wild, transformative magic and bizarre magical creatures, and quickly discovers that returning to claim his reward might not be as simple as he thought. Along the way, he's joined by a former nemesis and an unusual young woman, named Luan, who touches his heart in a way he feared he would never feel again. Derek must fight against his enemies as well as his own nature, as nightmares haunt him and his control over his dangerous battle fury slips further away from him. Will he stop the cult in time? Or will he be the one to inadvertently usher in the destruction of all that he holds dear?
