"The most beautiful woman in all the land will be the only woman to tame the Golden Beast that rules the skies and betrays its brethren."

Says the scripture.
What no one mentions is that it also says,

"The Beauty is cursed with immortality to forever keep the beast at bay, she has committed sins beyond debauchery in her previous life and now she must pay the price."

The Beauty shall never see the light of day, not ever again.

Celestinia has the horrible fate of watching her adoptive mother perish before her very eyes by the hands of the very creature she must submit herself to to save her people.
How will she react when she realizes he isn't as much of a monster that everyone perceives him as?

The Golden Beast has been cursed to transform into a dragon against his will and he knows the truth.
Nothing can lift this curse, not even the Beauty.
