Hearts on Fire by Marina Simcoe

“And that was our tragedy. The life of the man I loved depended on the life of the man I hated so fiercely.”

Conclusion to the Fire in Stone duet.
Now stolen myself and brought into the world I never planned to come to, I have to try hard to survive. Or die like so many do around me.
A war is raging in Dakath, and I don’t belong on either side of it. I can’t trust anyone in the king’s castle, not even Elex. His life is tied to the king, who is the most despicable man among the dragons. The gargoyles at King Edkhar’s Court are stronger, faster, more ruthless than I could ever be. But as the only human in the kingdom where everyone turns to stone at sunset, I may have an advantage still.
No one knows what I’m capable of to protect those I love. An incredible power lies inside me—the power of human love.
