The Dragon Who Stole Her Tomorrow

Crown assassin Anja Kreel never misses twice.

Eleven minutes before midnight, she kills Tharos, the dragon hiding beneath Hoursend. At dawn, he is waiting beside her bed with the knife still lodged in his heart.

The city has returned to the beginning of the same equinox day.

Tharos remembers every loop. By the third, so does Anja.

Someone has anchored Hoursend inside a repeating day to train an unstoppable army and protect the emperor's coming coronation. Every failure gives Anja another chance to complete her mission, but every reset steals years from Tharos's future strength. Wounds disappear. Exhaustion remains. Even citizens who forget the day carry traces of what they suffered.

Anja was trained to measure people as assets, obstacles, and acceptable losses. Tharos has spent centuries searching for the perfect sequence in which everyone survives. Neither knows how to trust someone capable of destroying them.

But the more mornings they face together, the harder it becomes for Anja to see him as a target. Tharos has watched countless futures end in death. Now the only tomorrow he wants is the one that still has her in it.

Their enemy is learning from every loop. The dragon's power is running out. And when midnight comes again, Anja and Tharos must choose one final version of the day and live forever with its consequences.

To earn a tomorrow, they will have to stop treating time as permission to sacrifice each other.

The Dragon Who Stole Her Tomorrow is Book 4 of Dragons of the Shattered Hoard. It delivers a complete, emotionally intense, closed-door romance within the continuing five-book rebellion. The series is best read in order.
