Princess Evelyn pours every ounce of her royal magic into helping Lucian awaken his sacred beast abilities, only to be butchered by him and her deceitful sister the moment he gains absolute authority. As her life ebbs away, she watches the stoic guard captain Ron fight off an entire army alone just to shield her broken body.
Waking up on the morning before the fateful awakening ceremony, Evelyn refuses to play the martyr again and rejects Lucian before the entire royal court. Instead, she chooses Ron as her sworn consort, unaware that behind his quiet loyalty lies the dormant blood of an ancient dragon king.
