Lady Annelise, falsely accused of plotting against the crown, is offered as a blood sacrifice to the legendary Dragon of Blackwood Forest. Instead of a monstrous beast, she finds a beautiful, but battered, man chained within the dragon's lair. He claims to be Lucian, the Dragon's Heir, bound to the beast by an ancient curse. Annelise, desperate for survival, forges a bond with Lucian, discovering that the true monster might not be the one chained in the dark, but the kingdom that condemned them both.
