Brand Astarot is only seeking vengeance for the destruction of his family that left him as an outcast. He has hidden the truth of who he really is and has no desire to become a rogue king. Fate, however, might have greater plans for the reluctant dragon and the treasure he finds.

Kasia Amon has hidden herself from the paranormal world for many years. Lately, she has had a problem with bursting into flames. She knows the legend and is not about to be the ticket for any dragon seeking the highest throne. She needs help with the flaming but she will be the mistress of her own destiny. Not a puppet, not a trophy, just a phoenix who is loved and wanted for herself. Legends are such a pain and she will not fulfill one for any dragon. Or will she?

THE ROGUE KING is the first in Abigail Owen's Inferno Rising series, but if you have followed her Fire's Edge books then this is part of that world. The dragon seem to be a rather nasty lot when it comes to family, if something happens to your parents and siblings, you are considered a rogue and shunned. Not the friendliest mode of living. Brand had a plan that was so simple and it was working, he would stay in with the king he knew and trusted, bring him the Phoenix as a bride and get his vengeance on the one who killed his family. Then came Kasia and the fire that he felt growing inside him for she had absolutely nothing to do with her being a phoenix, but her being a woman.

Kasia has been warned to stay away from the dragons her whole life, especially from the one king who killed her mother. At the very last minute she used the last of her strength to send Kasia and her two sisters to safety.

Love might be what he has been looking for all these years.
