The Goddess He Cast Aside

Eira, the First Goddess, posed as a humble healer for seven years to shield her lover Adrian. Before the coronation rite, Adrian spurned her publicly for lacking a divine mark. Cassian, Duke of the North, nearing dragon-blood awakening, was besieged by the temple. Eira saved him. They wed by blood oath—he protects the North, she attends the rite.
