Every choice has a consequence...Ruin is out of his element, and out of his mind with hate and resentment. The Fae have fled the realm he's been forced to rule and it's killing him. Literally. When a mysterious creature crashes into his life, he can't tell if she's just another assassin sent to take him out or if the Fates are playing another cruel game with his dark and twisted heart. Because this savage beauty is his mate, whether she likes it or not. When they end up in a life-or-death race against a thunder of dragons burning realms to the ground, Ruin must choose between saving the worlds from absolute annihilation or saving his soulmate. For him, there is only one option. Too bad the decision isn't his to make. Heavy is the crown, and sharp are its teeth...Consequence longed for escape until her realm vanished and the Draikyn she rules over shifted into war-hungry, fire blasting monsters with no conscience. After enlisting Ruin's help, she soon discovers the very ones she's sworn to protect may have been lying to her all along. Torn between duty and destiny, she must face the ones who betrayed her and decide not only their fate, but the future of all life. A Draikyn Queen does not rule with her heart and love has no place on the battlefield. This is between retribution and RUIN. *Ruin is the final book in this completed series. You must read these books in order from the beginning with Shatter or you will likely get lost in the interwoven plots.
