Wygrasz, jeśli się uprzesz… Smok miał dzikie fioletowe oczy. Łuski na jego ciele układały się w mozaikę, dokładnie taką samą, jaka zdobiła wnętrza pałacu. Każdy ząb miał długość ręki Elodie i był ostry jak brzytwa. Potrójnie rozwidlony język poruszał się szybko, jakby badał powietrze wokół księżniczki, by w ten sposób przekonać się, jak mogłaby smakować… Czyli to prawda. To nie była tylko legenda. Aureańska rodzina królewska naprawdę chciała nakarmić nią bestię. Boże, boże, boże. Inophe było tego rodzaju miejscem, dla którego planeta obracała się w przeciwnym kierunku. Kiedy reszta świata szła do przodu, jałowy kraj coraz bardziej osuwał się w przeszłość. Gdy książę opływającego w bogactwo królestwa Aurea oświadcza się Elodie, księżniczce Inophe, i obiecuje wybawienie, ta zgadza się bez wahania. Gdy trafia do Aurei, żeby wyjść za mąż i uratować swoje popadające w nędzę królestwo, zaczyna przeczuwać, że coś jest nie tak. Ale w najgorszych koszmarach nie byłaby w stanie wyobrazić sobie takiego zakończenia. Jeśli Elodie chce ocalić życie swoje i tysięcy innych kobiet, musi stawić czoła smokowi… To nie jest bajka o grzecznej księżniczce! Jeśli lubisz Szklany tron, Rywalki i Ród smoka, ta powieść jest dla ciebie! Poznaj efekt niesamowitej współpracy autorki bestsellerów „New York Timesa”, Evelyn Skye, i zespołu odpowiedzialnego za filmową produkcję Netflixa – Damę z Millie Bobbie Brown w roli głównej.
