He's lost his royal title. She's lost her family's fortune. Can a gamble on each other pay off?

He's a dead man walking.
After three hundred years, Marius must face a world that has moved on without him. Haunted by nightmares about the horrors he endured in the underworld, he's desperate for distraction. He finds relief in the exhaustion that comes when a dragon named Harlow, the alluring daughter of a washed-up Paragonian aristocrat, agrees to train him to fight.

She's flirting with danger.
Life as Harlow knew it is over. Her family was lucky to escape execution for their former support of Empress Eleanor. Now, she's just thankful to be alive and that her keen talent for pit fighting has earned her a job training Marius. The money is the only thing keeping her family afloat, but growing close to Marius could be hazardous to her health.

Together, they'll battle ghosts of seasons past.
When echoes from his time in the underworld pull Marius back into the violent domain of the dead, can Harlow help him break his ties to the past before death reclaims what it lost?
