Empire Lacastor is Princess of Astoren and has known her fate and duty since she was four years old: to marry Prince Edward Royal, heir to Vardura. It never really felt real, however, until her mother tells her at age 18 that it's time for her to marry her betrothed. Once in Vardura, Empire is suffocated by the castle she's not allowed to leave, controlling nature of men, and the queen, who seems to be criticizing her every move. Not to mention the fact she despises her fiancé. 

Edward Royal is Prince and heir to Vardura, a country that is largely in debt and looking at a war with Ordos as their leader, the Blood Woman, expands her land closer and closer to his. His only hope at winning the war is to form an alliance with the Astoren people by marrying Empire, the Savage Princess who represents everything he despises. 

Charmion Royal is Princess of Vardura and brother to Prince Edward Royal. Desperate for alliances, her father, King Althalos, sends her to the feared savage Zekayag people. The Zekayags live in large villages filled with fierce warriors, horses, and nothing to sleep in but tents. Although terrified of her betrothed, Wolfe Halacre, and of the strange and barbaric ways of the Zekayag people, she feels a strange connection to the land... and the freedoms they allow women.

Aeliana Musard is nothing but a servant in Atreides, forced to take care of the spoiled Princess Saxa Mont-Canisi. For the first time in her life, however, things are looking up; as soon as Princess Saxa is married to Steinn Deschamps, Prince of Ordos, and sent off to live with him, she can take her savings and make a life for herself. That was the plan... until Princess Saxa is murdered the night before her fiancé is to arrive and take her back to Ordos, and the queen demands that Saxa take her place to keep their alliance secure.

Upon examination- she is diagnosed with incurable cancer and side sickness and given only months left to live. Two days after the diagnosis- an offer comes in for his second daughter Millicent's hand in marraige that is too good to pass up and her father accepts immediately. However the offer is from a Baron Thaddius Salgria- of Salgria Shipping for his eldest son- Kragan. Who has spent his whole life on ships, either seaships or skyships. And Kragan is a natural sailor, when he's not designing, commissioning and building the ships himself. And for Millicent- the insult to the injury is that Kragan and his family are orcs. Millicent is furious with the match and outright refuses. So Contessina suggests that her father switch the marraige matches between herself and her sister. And to keep the news of her condition a secret- lest it be known and the family honor be ruined. Contessina and her father hatch a plan to pull it off. The doctors give her betrothed a fake but secret dianosis of being an horse riding accident and that she is now barren in order for herself to be released from the betrothal, which works. And the same lie about the horse riding accident is enough to ward off suspicion as to why she is taking medication to mask the symptoms of her real fatal illness to the Salgrias. But upon meeting her new groom- Contessina realizes that he is her love match and everything she never knew she always wanted and needed. So will she be able to keep her deadly secret to herself long enough to save her family from ruination- and more importantly- save Kragan from ruination too?

As Sutherland's new king, Emory Davercher faces countless challenges, but nothing as excruciating and frustrating as his mysterious, eccentric betrothed. *** When King Emory of Sutherland receives news that his betrothed is on her way to Sutherland, he sends her away before even laying eyes on the woman he has no intention of marrying. Months later, after a narrow escape from an assassination, he flees to his childhood home where he discovers a massive problem. Due to an unfortunate mishap, his betrothed has not left Sutherland. She's been in his secret estate all along. Grand Princess Florence Paulet of Gavaria and her cousin, Lucy, thinks her arrival in Sutherland will be easy.

"It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace.
