Leora spent twelve years of blood, sweat, and tears training four dragon knights — only to be repaid with their indifference, betrayal, and the repeated machinations of her scheming, seemingly innocent cousin Isolde. Heartbroken beyond measure, at her eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony she publicly dissolved the dragon knight contracts and announced her marriage to the legendary bloodthirsty and brutal Dark Dragon Lord, Rian Draken. After entering the Dark Dragon Domain, Leora unexpectedly discovered that Rian was nothing like the monster in the rumors. He bore a lethal curse — anyone who touched him would be burned, and she alone was the exception. Amid his respect, trust, and exclusive devotion, she felt, for the first time, the happiness of being firmly chosen. By the time the awakened dragon knights knelt and begged for forgiveness, it was already far too late. Leora tore the past to shreds with her own hands, and together with her true king, she would rule the Dragon Domain side by side.
