A dragon king's survival requires mating his human bride, but the act will burn her alive.
Dragon King Asher's curse demands he claim his true fated mate, yet the ritual that frees him immolates the human woman beside him. Alina arrives at Dragonstone as a sacrificial offering from her treacherous stepmother, not a willing partner. The ancient bond leaves no middle ground: Asher lives only if Alina dies in his embrace. Both confront an impossible calculus — his survival versus her life, complicated by feelings neither expected. The premise hinges on biological incompatibility as romantic obstacle, raising the stakes beyond ordinary arranged-marriage tension into something elemental and irreversible.
