A Snake in the Dragon's Shadow

For the sake of my oppressed people’s future, I agreed to become the fake fiancée of the empire’s most famous dragon. Now we’re being hunted: by the press, by ill-wishers, and by my brothers—bandits—dreaming of killing this audacious groom. The problems only grow, because my hatred for Nikolaus—and his hatred for me—goes back to childhood. He is my worst nightmare. And for him, I’ve been the most desirable prey for some time now. But what happens if suddenly kindled passion and attraction turn into something more? In the text: from hate to love—very emotional, a strong heroine, a domineering hero, a clash of personalities, forced relationships, magical beings, intrigues in the imperial palace, and a magical future world.
