Warrior Prince

By Michelle M. Pillow

Dragon Lords Series Book #4, Anniversary Edition

Scarred emotionally and physically since childhood, fugitive Pia makes a deal with an intergalactic matchmaking service: She’ll get a new face if she marries whoever they choose for her. But she wasn’t expecting to be matched with dragon prince Zoran… Can she conquer the conqueror?

The Warrior… 
Though no man could thwart the brave dragon shifter leader, a woman might be his undoing… 

Dragon-shifting Prince Zoran is a man who knows what he wants. Being a prince and the captain of the Draig Guard, he has to make swift decisions, be ready to battle at a moment’s notice, and most of all, he always has to be in control. When his bride, the one person who should obey him refuses to, he discovers the battle for his heart’s desire is fiercer than any this prince has ever waged before.

Will the conqueror become the conquered?

The Survivor… 
Though no one could ever command her, this warrior would try to conquer her heart… 

Physically scarred in childhood from an act of betrayal, Pia has never considered herself an attractive woman. Desperate to hide her identity, she makes a deal with Galaxy Brides—in exchange for a new face, she’ll marry anyone they put in front of her. Never did she imagine her future husband would be the most handsome/frustrating warrior of the dragon shifter military.

Will the dragon prince be able to conquer the barriers she has around her heart?

FAQs

Is this book a standalone or part of a series?

Book 4 of the Dragon Lords series, set in the Qurilixen World — an interconnected sci-fi paranormal romance universe spanning multiple connected series and 40+ books. Each Dragon Lords book stands alone with its own complete romance, but the larger world continues across Lords of the Var, Space Lords, Captured by a Dragon-Shifter, Dynasty Lords, and more series to come.

Does this book end on a cliffhanger?

No. Each Dragon Lords book delivers a complete happily ever after. The Qurilixen World continues across connected series, but every Dragon Lords novel resolves its own romance fully.

What’s the heat level?

Spicy. Steamy on-page intimacy with explicit love scenes between fated mates.

Who is this book for?

Readers who love alpha warrior heroes, battle-forged dragon shifter romance, and the slow burn of an alien warrior surrendering his fierce heart to the woman fate chose for him. Perfect for fans of Mandy M. Roth’s paranormal warrior series and Mina Carter’s alien warrior romances — sci-fi shifter worlds where the hero’s strength is only matched by his devotion.

What’s the Dragon Lords series about?

The dragon-shifting princes have no problem with commitment. In one night, these alpha males will meet and choose their fated mates in a simplistic ceremony involving the removal of masks and the crushing of crystals. With few words spoken and the shortest, most bizarre courtship in history, they will bond to their women forever. Dragon Lords is the first installment of the Qurilixen World, an interconnected universe that includes Lords of the Var, Space Lords, Captured by a Dragon-Shifter, Dynasty Lords, and more series to come.
