Surviving the Trials should have been the hard part. Now she has to survive being married to the dragon prince.

The marriage bond is sealed. Clan Bismyth called me theirs. Fear called me his fierce mortal protector in front of everyone and then kissed me until I forgot he planned my every step.

He planned the rebellion that needs us together: mortal and dragon shifter, proof that the kingdom can be remade.

For our rebellion, I’ll kiss him in public and smile as if I love him and clutch a knife behind my back.

I’m forced to share a horse, a bed, a story with this maddening dragon shifter.

The kingdom believes in us. How could they not, when he looks at me as if I’m his whole world? Sometimes, I even believe it.

Am I just his greatest plot…or did Fear trick himself this time and fall in love?
