Hoard

Kaln never meant to slay the dragon—it was merely in the way of his vengeance. But the deed is done, and now he faces a greater challenge: the dragon’s three widows. By right of conquest, they claim him as their new husband, offering him the beast’s lavish lair, vast riches, and their own alluring human forms. Kaln accepts, seeing an opportunity to further his revenge. His brides, however, are everything dragons embody—vain, greedy, cunning, and utterly self-serving. Ancient, powerful, and far cleverer than him, they’ve bound him to their own schemes. Yet beneath their monstrous natures lies something unexpected: a chance at happiness he never sought. But the world doesn’t forgive dragon-slayers lightly. With enemies circling and opportunists eyeing his newfound wealth, Kaln must rely on his three terrible wives to survive. The only question is whether their alliance will save him—or consume him first.
