Lucina is a girl born into shame—the illegitimate daughter of a prostitute, raised by a cruel Baroness who beats her daily and treats her as nothing more than a servant. Her only comfort is her silver hair and the mysterious healing power she discovers within herself. But when she heals a wounded dragon in the forest, her life changes forever.
That dragon is Hakan, the powerful King of Tayar, who has been searching for the girl who saved his life ten years ago. He claims her as his bride and takes her to his kingdom, offering her a chance at a new life. But Lucina soon discovers that being a queen comes with impossible burdens—she must bear the child of a dragon, a feat that has killed countless women before her.
As Lucina navigates the treacherous politics of the dragon kingdom, she faces the jealous ex-queen Garrett, uncovers dark magic being used against her, and discovers shocking truths about her own identity. Through trials of love, betrayal, war, and sacrifice, she must decide what she's willing to give up for the man she's come to love and the kingdom she's sworn to protect.
A tale of redemption, forbidden love, and the power of healing—both of the body and the soul.
