Elena, a young woman, is forced into an arranged marriage with Adrian, a distant and enigmatic heir to a powerful family. Meeting only at the altar, they are bound by the weight of their families' expectations and must navigate a life shaped by duty, not desire. As they move through the motions of their marriage, a quiet spark begins to grow between them-one that transforms their understanding of each other and the life they share. In this deeply emotional journey of self-discovery and connection, Elena and Adrian must decide whether they will remain prisoners to tradition or build a future based on their own choices.

For years, dragonkind and humankind had been at war, alternating between short-lived truces and all out warfare. In this age, however, humankind had subdued the proud dragonkind and turned them into slaves. Brands seared into their arms with the mark of a weeping dragon; the symbol of their defeat. Darin vehemently hated the mistreatment of the dragonkind, and when a branded runaway boy crossed his path, he made him his apprentice to protect him. Something had to be done. But in a strange turn of events, Darin found himself the leader of a peculiar band of travelers: His new apprentice, a brooding warrior, and an elven healer. Although he rarely traveled with others, he began to enjoy it as a long-term arrangement as days turned into weeks. Yet Amaredeia was still healing its war-ravaged wounds, and the cries of rebellion and anguish rose again. Could he really continue denying the calls of his apprentice's people?
