A man offered as dragon tribute becomes the king's eighth bride despite a deadly curse.
Laine takes his sister's place as a virgin sacrifice to the dragons, only for King Azael to snatch him from the altar and declare him a destined mate. The monarch's seven earlier spouses all perished in agony, a history Laine cannot ignore. He rejects the notion of wedding another man and fights the king's claim, yet forced proximity kindles an unexpected tenderness that undermines his resistance. Neither realizes that shattering the curse binding Azael will demand Laine's life.
