I’ve been underestimated my entire life. Too mortal. Too forgettable. Too powerless.
When a dragon captures my mentor, I track it beyond the borders of safety—straight into the grasp of a cursed king who’s more monster than man. He’s ruthless. Dangerous.
And convinced I was sent to destroy him. I force him into a bargain: my mentor’s freedom for my life. Simple. Except nothing about the king is simple. A prophecy binds us. His castle breathes secrets.
The walls whisper. And every day I spend in his domain, the line between captor and something far more dangerous blurs.
He needs me for reasons he won’t explain, and I can’t tell if he’s keeping me safe—or keeping me close for the kill. Time is running out. If I don’t break the curse, my kingdom burns.
But breaking it means trusting the beast I know Ishould hate.
