The day of claiming has arrived at last. Laryn, with a plan to storm in, ablaze with fire, intends to emerge with a bride taken against her will.

Roxanne, however, harbors plans of her own, fiercely opposing a savage custom that has persisted for millennia. From her youth, she has been driven by a singular ambition: to slay the dragon.

Laryn, marked by both his breathtaking arrogance and a heart heavy with grief from the loss of his previous bride, has devised a strategy for his forthcoming partner. Resolute in his decision to never love again, he is utterly unprepared for the encounter with a spirited warrior who boldly lands upon him, brandishing a sharp blade with lethal intent.

Be advised, this narrative is woven with mature themes and the indomitable wills of dragon shifters.
