He sighs - not mocking anymore, but tired."You really think drawing steel solves anything?"

"I think that someone has to remind our future king that he's no Zeus."
He gets the message: Gods don't bleed, and they definitely don't die.

±

In a royal wedding ball, Princess Daniela of Eldrynn confronts her betrothed Prince Tieran of Valmir--a long-promised friend turned ally for peace. As they dance under crystal chandeliers, Daniela finds herself haunted by his closeness to other noblewomen. In a silent storm-shattered rooftop, a whisper reveals her fear:

"You swore you'd never become your father."

"You're just jealous."

±

What happens next...?  A betrayal, of course ... 
But what sets this apart is not just the who of the betrayal - but where. In the shadow of chandeliers meant to shed light on the love they share, 

Daniela finds herself betrayed by her betrothed's promise-broken dagger-in front of everyone... except the ones who matter most... 

When the last vow's broken, the world will forget who she was. 

All but one...
All but the Crown.

A princess, being swallowed by expectation, overlooked by those too loud to notice her pain. When fate binds them in an arranged marriage neither of them chose, it is meant to be a sentence. A punishment for her, a strategy for him. But behind guarded eyes and sharp silences, something begins to stir. He sees the quiet fire in her that no one else bothered to notice.

In a realm where dragons choose their mates through ritual and instinct, Annabella-a realist from a world of logic-never believed in magic, fate, or monsters. But after falling through a mysterious rift, she awakens in a wild, primal land filled with creatures who aren't quite human... and who seem to think she belongs to them. She's cold. She's starving. And then the gifts begin. Food. Shelter. Fire. And always, that scent-smoky, powerful, and maddeningly alluring. Survival comes first. Or so she tells herself. But with every brush of clawed fingertips and heated glance, the lines between survival and surrender begin to blur. These dragon shifters don't just want her-they've chosen her. And in their world, choice runs both ways. A slow-burn, emotionally rich, polyamorous romance about instincts, intimacy, and the bonds we never see coming.
