Cast aside by Dragon Prince Valdris on the very day of her wedding, Solvei carries the shame of a scar he refused to overlook. Yet the Dragon Queen places a sleeping dragon egg before her, claiming it is bound to her fate. From that egg, Prince Aerian is born—and he chooses Solvei with sincere devotion. While he suffers through three thousand years to save her and seal the dark rift, she feeds him her blood every day, holding on until their reunion.
