A sacrificial substitute becomes a dragon king's cursed eighth mate.
Laine takes his sister's place as a virgin tribute to a dragon monarch. King Azael halts the rite, naming the startled man his fated partner and eighth spouse. The ruler's seven earlier consorts all perished in torment, a history that shadows the new arrangement. Laine rejects the marriage, unwilling to wed another man, yet relentless proximity softens hostility into affection. Neither realizes the curse binding the throne requires Laine's death to break.
