The False Dragon Bride

A worn hand print is carved low into the pit rock, with no crown beside it.

The oldest marks were cut into the rock by the gate, worn soft by centuries of hands.

At the bottom of the row was a hand. No crown beside it. No king. Just a hand.

My heart hit hard. There it was.

Synopsis

Every year, the dragon court chooses a bride for Prince Lucan. The queen says the choice keeps the border safe. The chosen woman gets a crown, a bonded dragon, and no way out. Tansy Dorset has no title and no family left worth naming. She enters the selection under a false house name, carrying her dead brother's rider pin and a plan to get close to the crown that burned him. Prince Lucan is the living face of that crown. His mother owns every rule, and the court forgives nothing. If anyone learns why Tansy came, she will not just lose her place. She will pay with her life.
