In a world where humans must bond with spirit beasts before 18 or perish, Nora is despised for her facial birthmark and always lives in the shadow of her perfect twin sister Celeste. The rare Sunbird Julian chooses Nora merely as a spare, while his heart belongs to Celeste. When Celeste’s dragon Dorian falls victim to the deadly Feral Curse, Julian forces Nora to replace her sister to bond with the raging beast. Surprisingly, Nora is the prophesied goddess whose blood can lift the curse. She uncovers all deceptions. Celeste reaps what she sows, and the remorseful Julian is turned down. In the end, Nora unites with Dorian, who has guarded her silently for years.
