Résumé :

In this immersive, plot-driven fantasy about dragons and political instability, you will find yourself eagerly turning page after page to reach the end.

When the dynamics shift for the royal family of Regnum, Sera finds herself in a vulnerable position as the spare to the throne. While trying to escape from her new title, she is caught by her stepmother's guard and left fighting for her life. Gravely injured, her astral form becomes trapped in an abyss with the Creation Goddess, Belinha, and three mysterious mirrors. The goddess guides her to find Elek, the one who holds the other end of Sera's Chain of Fate - a rare link indicating two people are destined for one another. Upon waking, she knows she must find the black dragon and develop her new abilities of Sight and Healing.

As for Elek, the Dragon Prince who can transform into a black dragon, the concept of destiny is a distraction from his duty as the crown prince of Demarcus. He is busy maintaining order among the soldiers and keeping the fae away from the borders, so searching for a wife is the least of his concerns, even if the Chain of Fate tugs at him. After a confrontation with a necromancer from the fairy kingdom, which results in his own deceased soldiers being sent to him, his flamboyant - yet always right, genderfluid, auncle Huri urges him to follow the Chain of Fate to protect Sera from the Fairy King.

His hands become tied when his father commands him to marry her, though Elek believes it has more to do with his father wanting to irritate his rival, King Jovan of Regnum When Elek first meets Sera, he is surprised by her naivety and impulsive acceptance of his proposal without asking any questions.

Soon after being bound to each other, they realize they were always meant to be together. They were always meant to have a life that they were denied when their ancient souls first roamed the world. With a sword in his hand and a gladius in hers, they are determined to show that dungeons and wars won't keep them apart, no matter what the Fairy King's plans are.

Curl up with this feel-good novel and join these two lovers as they learn what it is to have someone to live for.
