Bryar Rose has the name of a princess from a fairy tale, but she realized very early that no prince would come to save her. She’ll have to save herself. Unfortunately, in her current situation even that becomes an impossible task: she’s trapped in a terrible marriage with a dangerous man. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Bryar makes a deal with a demon. Freedom… in exchange for seven years of service. She expected her service to be hard and exhausting, but she couldn’t even imagine that she would be put up for auction in a hall full of real monsters—and sold to the one who offers the highest price.
Sole. The dragon. From the outside he seems kinder than his terrifying appearance suggests, but Bryar knows not to trust his desire to take care of her. She learned the hard way: if it seems like everything is too good to be true, then it is.
There can be no talk of falling for Sol. She has suffered enough and has no intention of staying in his world… even if, after returning to normal life, she leaves her heart with him.
