“The Rebel Princess of the Dragon Lord” is a novel by Natalia Zhuravliova and the starting book in the “Legends of Aperford” series, combining adventure, epic and heroic fantasy with a romantic storyline.
He is a powerful emperor, ruler of half the world, belonging to a fearsome dragon race.
She is the princess of a small human state—Borderlands. Her brother, recently crowned, out of impulsiveness decides to challenge the dragons—and, naturally, suffers defeat.
The emperor might have treated the revolt as just the rash stunt of a young neighbor, but during the clash the Mother of the Dragon Lord is mortally wounded.
From that moment, the old rules stop working. The meeting between the princess and the dragon emperor becomes inevitable, and their paths become inseparably intertwined. But can something more grow between them when the laws and traditions of their world leave no room for such a bond?
