Princess Bronwyn Drachenveil, famed ballerina of the dragon court, signs away three years of her life to descend into treacherous kraken territory on a mission that could forever change her fate.

Sebastian Mórisi rules Krakenströnd with ruthless precision. Desired by many, feared by all. When an ancient primordial rises from the abyss, threatening the safety of his underwater kingdom, he needs someone clever, nimble—and convincing—at his side. His solution? A fake courtship with the Swan of Ashmorra, the dragon princess now bound to his land.

If Bronwyn plays the kraken king's consort, acting as his spy, Sebastian will grant her heart's desire. But the longer the deception continues, the more dangerous the game becomes. Because the kraken king who never believed in love . . . may be falling for the woman destined to set his world on fire.
