Orphaned Aria was betrayed by her fiancé, Garrett, who secretly switched their names in the dragon sacrifice lottery, leaving her to be offered to the legendary Dragon King in place of her best friend. But when her blood awakened a royal dragon egg that had slept for 900 years, the newborn dragon, Pip, instantly called her “Mama.”
To protect Pip, Aria risked her life, earning the attention of Varek, the powerful Dragon King. But a mysterious dragon-slayer mark on her shoulder revealed a shocking prophecy: she was destined to either awaken his heart or destroy him. As Varek's feelings for her grew, a jealous dragon noble plotted to tear them apart.
When Varek was fatally wounded by a dragon-slaying spear, Aria finally uncovered the truth behind the thousand-year-old curse—and the secret of her own bloodline. But saving the Dragon King would cost her life. Can their love defy fate and awaken a heart frozen for a thousand years?
The girl once sacrificed by her own village may become the one destined to rule the dragons.
