Taming the Little Dragon Prince

Dragon-raised bride defies a royal council to save a cursed, chained half-dragon prince.

Marie grew up protected by dragons, so marrying Crown Prince Eric is a calculated trade: her hand for her family's sanctuary. Inside the palace she finds five-year-old Prince Caden, a half-dragon child cursed by blood, starved and shackled by a fearful council. An ancient prophecy declares only a dragon's daughter can calm him, otherwise execution awaits. Marie answers the boy's feral rage with a mother's certainty, soothing him in a single night. Her defiance exposes the court's cruelty and draws dangerous enemies, but a dragon's daughter does not yield when her young are threatened.
