The Dragon's Power, or The Unwilling Bride

The monarch urgently needs an heir. The requirements for a bride aren’t that strict—and, unfortunately, I fit all the criteria: magically gifted, healthy, innocent, and from a good family. The fact that I want to finish the academy instead of rushing into marriage doesn’t matter to anyone; the state’s interests come first. The ball has started—I have only a few hours to find a way to outwit the royal artifact, and I think I know what to do. Only there’s a catch—I need help from a dragon who can’t stand the sight of me.
