Resurrection of the Fallen (D'Vaire, Book 4)

Reverent Knight Drystan Kempe has no use for the rumors that have swirled around him over the past two centuries. He knows he is not the former emperor of the dragons—the only thing they share is a common name. After all, Drystan the emperor had a love that has become legendary since his death, and Drystan the fallen knight is very much alone. He’s waited over six hundred years for the other half of his soul and has grown impatient. When Drystan finally finds him, he is unamused by the discovery that he bears the name of the former emperor’s mate, but he tries to remain open-minded.

Reverent Knight Conley Gylde is confident that whoever he was prior to his recent resurrection has no bearing on this new beginning. He first focuses on demolishing every training record the fallen knights have with his unmatched speed, then tackles his job with the same level of intensity. Although he is unsure what to make of his title or his mate, he is not a man easily intimidated, and he puts his best foot forward.

When Drystan and Conley finally become blood-bonded, their mating brings them a great deal more than they bargained for. Originally it was their future awaiting them, but unlike their brethren, they are forced to contend with their pasts. Faced with a history of deceit and betrayal from those closest to them, they must find strength in themselves and trust in Fate; only then will they learn what truly matters: the awe-inspiring love between them that has transcended everything…even death.
