Aria, a human woman, is cast into a freezing storm by Ronan, the ruthless Dragon King, and secretly gives birth to Ivy, a daughter carrying the royal dragon blood. One year later, Ivy’s unstable magic threatens her life, forcing Aria back to the royal court for help—and straight into Ronan’s control. When the child cries “Dada” before the entire court, the hidden bloodline begins to unravel, drawing a deadly conspiracy from the jealous red-dragon noblewoman Vesper and the treacherous elven healer Lucian. To keep her daughter out of their hands, Aria leaps into the abyss with Ivy in her arms, while a wounded Ronan battles the Leviathan at the Edge of the World. The instant their magical bond warns him that his Queen and child are dying, the Dragon King tears the legendary beast apart and races home covered in blood. But how can he win back the woman he once destroyed—when she would rather fall to her death than trust him again?
