In The Arms Of The Dragon (Elemental Vow Series – 1) by D. Khushi Sree is the story of two deeply wounded people whose lives are tied together by fate rather than choice. Callia Rhodes is the daughter of a powerful businessman. From the outside, her life looks perfect, but inside she carries fear, trauma, and broken trust. She escapes her pain through art and silence, trying to live quietly despite the chaos around her. Theron Valeb, on the other hand, grows up without love or family. Life hardens him early, shaping him into a man who believes control is the only way to survive. When their arranged marriage brings them together, it feels more like a deal than a union, and both enter it guarded and unsure.
As the story moves forward, the bond between Callia and Theron slowly changes. Theron is cold, intense, and highly protective, while Callia is gentle, cautious, and afraid of being hurt again. Their relationship is not built on instant love but on small moments, unspoken understanding, and shared pain. The book shows how trust does not come easily to people who have been broken before. Every step they take toward each other feels earned, making their connection feel real and emotional.
Alongside their personal journey, the story introduces danger through the Crimson Pact and Operation Lazarus. These threats are not just background events; they directly affect Callia and Theron’s lives and test their bond. The action and suspense add depth to the story and raise the stakes, showing how love can become both a strength and a weakness. The balance between romance and danger keeps the reader engaged and makes the story feel intense without losing its emotional heart.
Overall, In The Arms Of The Dragon is a powerful and emotional read. It talks about trauma, healing, control, and love in a way that feels honest and human. This book is perfect for readers who enjoy dark romance, strong characters, and deep emotional stories. It is not a light love story, but it is meaningful and stays with you even after you finish reading.

If you love dark romance with broken characters, obsession, and dangerously intense love, In The Arms Of The Dragon by D. Khushi Sree will sink its claws into you and not let go. 🐉✨
Callia Rhodes is art, pain, and silence stitched together. She paints to survive her nightmares and shoots arrows like she’s aiming straight at fate.
Theron Valeb? He’s the kind of man trauma forged into a weapon—brilliant, ruthless, and fiercely protective in a way that’s both terrifying and swoon-worthy.
When he says he burned a Mercedes because it hurt her… I knew this book was that kind of ride. 😮🔥
This is a marriage-bound, trauma-heavy romance where love isn’t soft—it’s obsessive, consuming, and dangerous.
Their connection feels raw and earned, especially as two emotionally wounded souls learning to trust in a world built to break them.
Add high-stakes action, secret operations, global chaos, and enemies ready to exploit their love, and the story becomes addictive fast.
The emotional intensity mixed with thriller elements kept me hooked till the end.
If you enjoy morally grey heroes, wounded heroines, and love that burns rather than soothes, this one deserves a spot on your TBR. 💣❤️

In the Arms of the Dragon is one of those books that pulls you in quietly — and before you realize it, you’re emotionally invested.
At its core, this is a romance that prioritizes people over spectacle. The relationship at the center feels grounded, mature, and intentional. Instead of relying on dramatic misunderstandings or forced conflict, the story leans into trust, healing, and emotional connection — which gives it a calm confidence many romances lack.
The male lead stands out for his restraint. He’s intelligent, composed, and powerful without needing to announce it. That quiet strength makes his presence consistently compelling. The female lead brings emotional depth and vulnerability, and her arc unfolds at a respectful pace rather than being rushed for impact.
The writing style is smooth and metaphor-rich, giving the romance a soft intensity. Worldbuilding stays subtle — present enough to add texture, but never loud enough to pull focus away from the characters. The focused

In arms of the Dragon by Khushi Sree,
It’s all about the beauty in waiting. No rush. It’s not exactly about dragons or power or even romance at an extent, but I would say something that is emotional and growing with it.
Callia and Theron do not just fall in love, they negotiate and navigate through it. There is slowburn and pauses that are intentional and required. What actually stands out in the book for me? Is that how very beautifully he waited for Callia and all those, beautiful moments between them.
There is always external danger that exists, but making your choice and accepting it is what makes it all worth it. This is not entirely a fairytale. The ending doesn’t wrap you in ribbons that makes you feel warm. It’s just making you feel prepared for the next book.
So, as the final verdict, if you want fast fantasy or loud romance, this might not be the one for you, but if you want something that is a blend of respect, emotional realism and understanding oneself in a learnt manner. This work is going to stay with you, you will cherish it.
