On the night Lyra is forced into a perfect marriage, her secret wish awakens the last western dragon. Kael is more beast than man, feared by kingdoms and hunted by the man she was meant to marry. Trapped between a golden cage and a cursed island, Lyra refuses to be protected, owned, or saved. She teaches the dragon how to become human, and he teaches her how to choose herself. But when the city calls him a monster and the altar demands a bride, love may burn down every legend they were told to obey.
