Ren is the princess of Dragon Islands, and she knows several simple rules: don’t trust your heart, always give a tithe, and don’t believe elves. After losing loved ones and having her swords destroyed, she has only two choices left—to die or to marry an elf prince.
Ren pretends to be easy to control in order to get revenge and reclaim her throne. She spies, prepares plots, and waits for the moment to attack the royal elf family. But the more time she spends with her dangerous and attractive husband, the more strongly she grows attached to him. To survive on the Dragon Islands, Ren must find courage and not doubt.
