Young thief Alda receives an order for a golden cup from Count Otyrmir’s treasure vault. She has never once returned from a job empty-handed. Getting a golden trinket for her is no big deal. She needs the cup! Count Ulkhar Otyrmir needs it too. And he urgently needs an innocent maiden for a ritual. After all, as nicely as possible… yes, a dragon. Will he let a charming thief who so carelessly sneaked into his lair go free? Will he try to negotiate? Will he threaten her? Or… will he fall in love?
