The kingdom slowly dies after the war; victory over the forest people turns into defeat. Days grow shorter, winters longer, and on the mountain there now lives a dragon demanding a bride of royal blood.
They send to him the princess and the king’s illegitimate daughter. One will be the lord’s wife and ascend the throne, the other will belong to the monster. With stakes like these, there are no rules in the game. Both girls refuse to give up their lives and are ready for anything to win the love of the lord, who is taking them to Dragon Mountain. The guide, who knows the road through the Wild Forest, is a catlak that has lost the ability to transform into a beast. But why is it drawn so strongly to the king’s illegitimate daughter? Who was her mother?
