19th-century Europe. True-born noblewoman Monica was swapped by a maid's daughter, framed into a brothel, scarred, branded, and lost an arm to crocodiles. Her family chose the liar over her. Then they forced her to marry Sirius — the "blind monster" of the Northern Kingdom. But at the altar, Sirius opened his eyes. He was the king. He had saved her a year ago — and she had saved him. He rode a dragon, melted the ice, and crowned her with royal power. Her enemies knelt. Her family begged. Monica didn't forgive. She flew away on a dragon with her king.
