The best revenge is worth waiting for. Even if it takes five hundred years...

Brand Astarot is patiently biding his time for a chance to take vengeance on the King of the Gold Dragon Clan. To unleash the rage that he lives with, the grief for his slaughtered family.

Already he can taste the blood, the smoke, the fury.

Until then, Brand remains a rogue dragon shifter, bound to no one but himself. And with the chance to ally himself with a new clan, he's tracking down a woman who could shift the balance in the world of the dragons.

Only no one told him exactly what or who Kasia Amon is, or that she's coveted by those who would use her for their own purposes.

Unpredictable and dangerously lethal, Kasia will not be used by anyone - especially the mercenary dragon shifter who calms the inferno raging inside her.

But nothing will stop a dragon who wants to be king... or a rogue who's out for revenge.

The author of The Games Gods Play brings you Book 1 of the Inferno Rising series.
