A hunter chief and a dragon heir are magically bound as mates after a rescue.
Ethan commands the Hunters' Guild, an order devoted to exterminating supernatural beings. A failed assassination attempt leaves him near death until Aurelius, heir to the dragon lineage, intervenes and spares him. The rescue activates an ancient mating bond that magically brands them as fated partners, a connection neither can sever. Ethan is pulled into Aurelius's gilded court, where glittering galas conceal blades and courtiers scheme in shadows. Jealous rivals circle the pair while hidden identities turn every encounter into a potential trap, forcing the hunter to navigate deadly escapes and ballroom killings alongside the very creature he was sworn to destroy.
