In the kingdom of Serendahl, a cursed plague transforms its victims into wandering beasts that sow chaos. To save her people, Princess Lyra Valen, sole heir to the throne, accepts a political marriage to Prince Rhydian Drakhar, leader of the mysterious Firelands, whose inhabitants descend from dragons and possess immunity to the curse.
Rhydian arrives at Serendahl Palace with a reputation for being barbaric and cold-hearted, ready to seal the alliance… but also tormented by an ancestral secret: a prophecy that states that by uniting royal blood and draconic fire, the ultimate cure will arise… or total destruction.
Amidst palace intrigues, hidden betrayals, and the deadly advance of the plague, Lyra and Rhydian must overcome their distrust—and the fierce opposition of their courts—to forge a bond stronger than the metal of their crowns. But when the truth about the origin of the curse threatens to tear their kingdoms apart, can these two souls condemned by duty become the love that saves the world… or will they burn in flames of vengeance?
