Second Chance Romance • Dragon Shifters • Viking World

She Left Her Ex and Her Dragon Clan Twenty Years Ago. Now She’s Back — And He’s Furious, Devastating, and Still Fated to Her.

DRAGONS OF BLOOD AND BONE

VIKING DRAGON SHIFTER REVERSE HAREM ROMANTASY • COMPLETE 6-BOOK SERIES

Twenty years ago, Rikyava Anderson ran from everything: her Blood Dragon clan in Sweden, her destiny as a Bloodwalker, and Bjorn Magnussen — the fierce dragon whose life-bond to her was unbreakable by anything except distance.

She built a new life in Paris. Buried her power. Became someone who didn’t have to feel the pull of a bond she refused to accept.

Then an uncontrolled shift sends her home to Stockholm — and back to Bjorn, who has spent twenty years furious, certain, and waiting for an explanation she still doesn’t have a good answer for.

This is second chance romance the way the trope is supposed to feel: the weight of two decades, the unresolved history between two people who were always fated to find their way back to each other, and the specific pleasure of watching a man who was wronged decide that wanting her is stronger than his anger.

The twist: Bjorn wants to be her only mate. But Rikyava’s Bloodwalker power demands more — her magic requires multiple bonds to control it safely. Which means the second chance arc is not simple. And Bjorn’s jealousy, desire, and dragon instinct are all going to collide before this is resolved.

Six books. Complete. Free in Kindle Unlimited. Audiobooks available at avawardromance.com.

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE FAQ

Is this a true second chance romance?
Yes. Rikyava and Bjorn had a real relationship before she ran. The history between them — what she did, why she did it, whether he can forgive it — is central to the first book and carries emotional weight through the series.

Does he forgive her easily?
No. Bjorn is furious. He has spent twenty years with an unresolved life-bond to a woman who left without explanation. The tension between them is real, earned, and satisfying precisely because it isn’t resolved instantly.

Why does she end up with multiple mates if Bjorn is the first?
Rikyava is a Bloodwalker — a rare type of dragon whose power requires multiple bonds to control safely. The magic demands it; the world explains it. Bjorn knows this and has to navigate what it means for him.
