'Tight tense, smoldering, and wonderfully queer' Mike Brooks The
last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the
world . . . or shatter it. The first in an epic fantasy trilogy
from Sunday Times bestselling author L.R. Lam. Long ago, humans
betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a
dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as
gods. But the 'gods' remember, and they do not forgive. Since they
were orphaned, Arcady has scraped a living thieving on the streets
of Vatra, dreaming of life among the nobility - and revenge. When
the chance arises to steal a powerful artefact from the bones of
the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history, they
jump at it, for its magic holds the key to their dreams. But the
spell has unintended consequences, and drags Everen - the last male
dragon, who was once foretold to save his kind - into the human
world. Trapped, and disguised as a human, Everen soon realises that
the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in
Arcady. All he needs to do is convince one little thief to bond
with him completely - body, mind, and soul - and then kill them . .
. Yet the closer the two become, the greater the risk both their
worlds will shatter. 'Dragons have never been so sexy' Kate Dylan

The first book in a new romance epic fantasy trilogy, in which
long-banished dragons, revered as gods, return to the mortal realm
"An intriguing world, forbidden romance, unique magic, and of
course, as many dragons as your heart could possibly desire.”

smoldering, and wonderfully queer." —Mike Brooks, author of The
God-King Chronicles “Dragons have never been so sexy.” —Kate
Dylan, author of Mindwalker Long ago, humans betrayed dragons,
stealing their magic and banishing them to a dying world. Centuries
later, their descendants worship dragons as gods. But the "gods"
remember, and they do not forgive. Thief Arcady scrapes a
living on the streets of Vatra. Desperate, Arcady steals a powerful
artifact from the bones of the Plaguebringer, the most hated person
in Lumet history. Only Arcady knows the artifact's magic holds the
key to a new life among the nobles at court and a chance for
revenge. The spell connects to Everen, the last male dragon
foretold to save his kind, dragging him through the Veil. Disguised
as a human, Everen soon learns that to regain his true power and
form and fulfil his destiny, he only needs to convince one little
thief to trust him enough to bond completely--body, mind, and
soul—and then kill them. Yet the closer the two become, the
greater the risk both their worlds will shatter.

The explosive finale to the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling SEVEN DEVILS
series "Two authors at the forefront of their genres" LIST "SEVEN
MERCIES is a worthy successor to its equally magnificent
predecessor and an enthralling culmination to its sprawling yet
intimate narrative" STARBURST MAGAZINE THE MOST-WANTED REBELS IN
THE GALAXY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN SAVE IT After an ambush leaves
the Novantae resistance in tatters, the survivors scatter across
the galaxy. Wanted by two great empires, the bounty on any rebel's
head is enough to make a captor filthy rich. And the Seven Devils?
Biggest score of them all. The Devils take refuge on Fortuna where
Ariadne gets a message with unimaginable consequences: the Oracle
has gone rogue. In a planned coup against the Empire's new ruler,
the AI has developed a way of mass programming citizens into
mindless drones. The Oracle's demand is simple: it wants its
daughter Ariadne back at any cost. Time for an Impossible to
Infiltrate mission: high chance of death, low chance of success.
The Devils will have to use their unique skills, no matter the
sacrifice, even if that means teaming up with old enemies. Their
plan? Get to the heart of the Empire. Destroy the Oracle. Burn it
all to the ground. PRAISE FOR THE BESTSELLING SEVEN DEVILS SERIES:
