A jilted bride chooses the dragon's shrine over a faithless groom, forging a new destiny with her grandmother and the Dragon King.
Holomir's marriage law demands the groom haul the wedding boat across the Sacred River or forfeit his bride to the Dragon Shrine. Elara Vale anticipates Adrian's betrayal with his apprentice Vivienne, yet waits at the bank. He never arrives. Refusing to plead, she rides to the capital and confirms their intimacy. Returning home, she steps onto the sacrifice vessel alone, invoking the ancient penalty. The Dragon King appears at her side, and with her grandmother's backing, Elara abandons the life she was promised for an uncertain future beyond the river.
