A betrayed donor becomes tutor to a dragon child, winning the trust of his formidable father amid court intrigue.
Catherine Bennett survives a marrow donation that leaves her body altered and her relationship shattered. When a dragon cub imprints on her during a blizzard, she is pulled into the hidden world of the North American Dragon Council as tutor to Milo, son of Chief Kaelan Voss. The estate shelters more than grief; a maid poisons the boy, an uncle schemes murder, and a noblewoman engineers a political marriage. Catherine's care steadies Milo while her presence unsettles the Council's power balance. As suspicion between her and Kaelan shifts to partnership, she reclaims her health and refuses her ex-lover's renewed demand for sacrifice. The premise blends domestic healing with high-stakes fantasy politics, anchored by a protagonist who refuses to be defined by what was taken from her.
