Overview

A woman desperate to save her family. A dragon with a hoard of untold riches. A bargain that costs her everything but gold. The village of Stonewood withers under a relentless curse, its people starving and their hope a flickering ember. As the eldest daughter of a family on the brink of collapse, Iris has no choice but to brave the legends and seek out the monstrous dragon, Draco. His lair, a glittering cathedral of stolen wealth, promises a cure for her village's despair-if she can survive the beast who guards it. But the dragon she finds is not the simple monster of legend. He is a creature of sublime terror and breathtaking beauty, a being of ancient loneliness who finds gold and jewels to be a cold, silent comfort. He sees through her facade of courage to the trembling girl beneath, and his price is not a single coin, but a year of her life. One night for every moon cycle, Iris must serve as his companion, his confidant, his creature, to satiate a hunger far deeper than greed. As Iris is thrust into a world of impossible beauty and profound darkness, she discovers that Draco is more than just a beast. He is a shapeshifter, a collector of lost civilizations, and a connoisseur of human emotion. The more he reveals, the more her terror becomes tangled with awe and a disturbing, undeniable fascination. His touch, at first a claiming of ownership, awakens a fire within her she never knew existed. He demands her surrender, not just her body, but her very soul, and the lines between captor and willing partner begin to blur. Will Iris's sacrifice save her village, or will she lose herself to the dangerous allure of the beast who claims her as his most treasured prize? A dark, enchanting tale of forbidden desire, ancient secrets, and the sinfully wicked price of salvation. For readers who crave Dark Fantasy Romance with a slow burn, emotional depth, and a touch of the gothic.
