Cursed by a dark elf, a princess is imprisoned in a lonely tower, her only companion a fearsome, fire-breathing dragon. She waits, year after year, for the day when a brave prince will slay the beast and free her from her gilded cage-a day that seems as distant as it is impossible. Little does she know, the dragon who keeps watch over her is not a mindless monster, but a prince himself-and works closely with the dark elf that condemned her.
The hundred-year-old dragon has no intention of waiting for a hero to rescue her. His plans for the princess are far more complicated, and far darker, than she could ever imagine.
