The Dragon King's Forbidden Bride

Defeated prince Caelan, blackmailed by his usurper uncle, is sent as a "bride sacrifice" to mad dragon-king Azrahel—who kills every bride by dawn. Caelan's "Silent Flame" calms him; night by night, the king regains sanity. They conspire to expose the truth. After toppling usurpers, the true mastermind Malphas nearly kills Azrahel. Caelan merges souls with him, becoming a golden dragon to win. Azrahel is restored; Caelan is crowned the first male Dragon Consort.
