Second Chance Romance • Historical Parallels • Epic Fantasy Romance

If Outlander’s Second Chance Romance and Timeless Bond Are What Keep You Reading — This Dragon Series Has the Same Pull.

DRAGONS OF BLOOD AND BONE

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

What makes Outlander last isn’t the time travel — it’s the bond. Two people with history, with real reasons to stay apart, who can’t escape what they are to each other. The second chance element — the years of separation, the changed circumstances, the need to rebuild trust — is what gives the romance its weight.

Dragons of Blood and Bone is built on the same engine. Twenty years ago, Rikyava fled her Blood Dragon clan in Sweden and her ex-boyfriend Bjorn Magnussen, whose dragon had already established an unbreakable life-bond with hers. She built a separate life in Paris. She was very deliberate about it. Now a crisis pulls her back to Stockholm, and Bjorn — who never left, who never took another mate, who has been waiting — is right there.

The world adds fantasy scale Outlander doesn’t have: a secret society of Black Dragon Knights, a supernatural conspiracy threatening the whole dragon world, a rare magic that demands multiple bonds. But the emotional core is the same. A man who carries twenty years of complicated feelings. A woman who knows exactly what she ran from and why. A connection that neither time nor geography dissolved. And now they have to work together under life-or-death circumstances, which forces everything to the surface.

The series is complete at six books — no waiting required. Audiobooks for Books 1–5 available at avawardromance.com.

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE FAQ

How central is the second chance element?
It’s the foundation. Rikyava and Bjorn have twenty years of history before Book 1 opens — a bond established, a departure that was deliberate, a silence on both sides. Their reconnection is the central emotional conflict of the series opener.

Is there an explanation for why she left?
Yes. Rikyava left because her Bloodwalker magic demands multiple mates, and Bjorn is intensely possessive. She knew what the bond would require and couldn’t navigate that conflict twenty years ago. Her return forces both of them to face it differently.

Can I read it if I’ve never read any Ava Ward series?
Yes — it’s a standalone series. Rikyava appears as a minor character in the Royal Dragon Shifters of Morocco series, but DBB works completely on its own.

Is the series complete, and is it available as an audiobook?
Six books, all published. Ebook free in Kindle Unlimited. Audiobooks for Books 1–5 at avawardromance.com.
