Princess Seraphina gave Prince Cassius everything — her blood, her power, the dragon crown. He repaid her by carving the heart from her chest, feeding her essence to the sparrow-spirit imposter who'd stolen her name. Then she opened her eyes on the day of choosing. This life, Seraphina picks his hated rival — the silent hybrid prince no one believed in. When Cassius calls down nine streams of Dragonfire and screams for her aid, she only smiles. Let the cheating dragon rot in a ditch. Let his pretty sparrow wither beside him.
