Even the brightest sun must eventually set

Valerian Sunforge is a vision of gold and amber. With scales that catch every stray beam of light and a smile that could melt winter's frost, he appears to be the picture of perfection. But beneath the charming words and the easy laughter lies a dragon who has watched his entire world burn to ash.

He has learned to wear his brightness like armor, terrified that if he stops smiling, the darkness will finally claim him. In the heart of the Gilded Oasis, Valerian offers you warmth, kindness, and beauty but can you see past the golden mask? Can you be the one to hold him when the sun goes down and the shadows return? Enter a story of healing, vulnerability, and a love that burns brighter than any flame.
