When Y/N is married off to Vaelorian Draven, the cursed ruler of a dying kingdom, she expects to meet a terrifying monster. Vaelorian has lived alone in Blackthorn Castle for decades, trapped in the body of a dragon and convinced that no one could ever see past his appearance. But Y/N is fascinated rather than afraid. As a curious biologist, she becomes determined to understand the creature behind the curse—and slowly discovers the gentle, deeply wounded man beneath it. What begins as a forced marriage gradually turns into something neither of them expected. But the closer Y/N gets to Vaelorian, the more the darkness surrounding his curse begins to surface.
