In a kingdom guarded by the dragon king, humans fear dragons and sacrifice an 18-year-old girl every ten years. To claim the reward, Elowen’s stepmother and father sell her as the offering. Cursed into silence, she is sent to the castle. Trying to escape, she stumbles into the dragon king’s bath and finds him in human form.
Expecting death, she instead stirs a physical desire in him—something no woman has ever done. Needing an heir to secure his reign, he sees Elowen as his only chance. To survive, she signs a blood contract: conceive his child within two months.
