Liane

After losing her best friend to as the corrupted magic known as Stardust, she swore to avenge him by eradicating it from the capital. But her family’s lack of support keeps hindering her efforts. They’d rather she’d be quiet and obedient like her perfect older sister and heir to the throne, Aristae. But Liane has a wild spirit that can’t be tamed. Seeing how miserable marriage has made Aristae and focused on her own goals, she’s sworn never to marry. But it doesn’t stop her mother from trying to make matches at every turn.

Erich

Six years ago, Erich caused a horrific accident and fled his homeland. Shedding his title as prince, he wandered the continent as a vagabond, haunted by his past, seeking a cure for his were-dragon curse. Though he knows he can’t be redeemed after what he’s done, he hopes to find a cure and prevent further innocent bloodshed. But despite his efforts, his search has been fruitless and growing desperate. He takes a gamble and risks partnering with a dark magic wielding elf, in hopes of a cure…

How could a fake engagement between royals go wrong? When one of them is secretly a were-dragon.

When corrupt magic killed Princess Liane’s best friend, she swore she’d get revenge. Now she fights to stamp out the smugglers bringing poisonous magic into the capitol. Dedicated to her cause, she’s sworn never to marry until they’re eradicated. But her mother, the Empress, is desperate to see her settled. When Liane discovers a new lead that will eliminate the criminals for good, she’s prepared to risk it all for vengeance. But her mother’s meddling keeps getting in the way. To distract her, Liane needs a fake fiancé…

Running from a past he can’t bear to face, Erich hides his were-dragon curse by avoiding humans. If his secret is revealed, he’ll be executed. After multiple failed attempts to break his curse, Erich risks entering the capitol to seek a miracle healer. Instead, he meets an elf who presents him with an enticing offer: steal the Empress’ enchanted blade for a cure. Erich has one month before his next transformation… but to get close to the royal family, he’ll need a disguise…

After a chance meeting, Liane and Erich’s lives become intertwined. Tangled up in secrets and lies, they agree to a pretend engagement. However, as the lines between pretense and reality blur, Liane’s conviction to never marry wavers. And if Erich’s truth comes out, it won’t be just their hearts and Liane’s trust on the line, but his life. While their motives are in conflict, they need one another more than they realize. And soon they’ll discover their meeting wasn’t mere coincidence, but rather a destiny written in the stars….
