🐉 Dark Fantasy • Arranged Marriage • Dragon King • Slow Burn • Royal Drama

King Azrael Veyrat has kept the dragons beyond the borders of the human kingdoms for years, yet almost nothing is known about the mysterious ruler himself. No reliable portraits exist. Few outsiders have ever seen him. Rumors claim he is ancient, hideously scarred, or something far worse.

Then, without warning, the Dragon King sends King Richard Knighten a marriage proposal with one unusual demand:

He wants the king’s purest human heir.

Richard immediately offers his beloved youngest daughter, Princess Ariel.

Ariel has other plans.

Spoiled, favored, and accustomed to getting whatever she wants, she refuses to marry a mysterious man she believes may be an old monster. With her mother’s help, she finds the perfect replacement:

You.

The forgotten eldest daughter.

Now you’re being sent across the mountains to marry a king you’ve never seen, enter a kingdom humans barely understand, and take your sister’s place beside one of the most feared rulers alive.

But the Dragon King has secrets no human kingdom knows.

And your sister may have made the biggest mistake of her life when she sent you in her place.
