I meant to slay the dragon—not save him.

All my life, I've known what it means to be a human in Faery, and I've always fought back. But when my father attacks a half-dragon duke—and fails—I make the only bargain I can think of: my life for my his.

I expect to be treated like a slave, but my new master keeps me in luxury. There's no escape from the beautiful, deadly fae duke—and I'm determined to use my position to help the other mortals in Faery.

But the more I learn about him, the more I want to know. He's fascinating. Passionate. Every time he touches me, I want to beg him to never stop. There's far more to the Flame of Faery than I ever expected.

His secrets bind him like thorned vines. His enemies lurk in the shadows. They know how to deal with a dragon . . . but they don't know how to deal with me.

If I save him, my debt is paid. But I'm starting to fear that I'll never want to leave . . .
