Shadows of Tannic Keep

Highland Dragon Shifters

On the wind‑torn shores of Loch Broom, Isa keeps her son alive with a hunter’s hands and a mother’s ferocity. The Thistle & Targe offers them work and a fragile peace—until raiders strike from sea and sky, and a black dragon answers with a roar that shakes stone.

When Talson shifts for the first time—his fire not a blast but a molten tide that clings and devours—clan law crowns him a prize and a threat. Elias McKenna, a dragon shifter and tavern owner, knows what that flame means: a bloodline thought lost to time, forged in crusades across distant mountains.

As whispers of McLeod vengeance circle the Highlands and old Roman hunters surface in new masks, Isa must choose whom to trust, and how far she’ll go to keep her child from becoming a weapon. In a land of oaths and ashes, shadows gather over Tannic Keep—and one boy’s fire may decide whether clans unite … or burn.
