This publishes on my birthday next year and it’s a sign because this book is freaking glorious. GLORIOUS!

Gloooooooooooooooooooooorious!!

This world is an ancient Roman Empire but also dragons and gods and magic. Like I said. FREAKING GLORIOUS.

Julian is a dragon, but obvs he’s still a man, who finds a beautiful foreign girl dancing one night and gifts her a golden coin. Malina, said girl, is drawn to this dragon man and keeps this coin as protection and never forgets about this man.

Four years later these two are reunited when Julian leads an army that kills the entire village she’s living in (See?! See?! Glorious) and when she’s taken as a spoil of war Julian is NOT having it. He recognizes his foreign dancer girl being attacked by one of his men and his dragon is rumbling suuuper possessively and wonderfully and yaaaaalll. It’s delicious. DELICIOUS. This dragon isn’t gonna let this girl get away this time, no matter what the cost.

I loved this one so much. Gobbled it up. Pre-ordering the beautiful edition of this book. It’s so freaking good. I don’t want to share too much because you just need to read it and trust me that it’s great and thank me later.

Thanks for the ARC, review is my own.
