A Bride Beneath Dragon Wings

A Bride Beneath Dragon Wings begins on the frozen summit of Mount Caelum, where eighteen-year-old Princess Genevieve Beaumont is bound to an altar as a living sacrifice. Hidden beneath her crimson bridal shroud are hundreds of silver needles, designed to siphon her blood and magical essence into a runic containment system. Her cruel captors, led by King Vincent Rhodes and the sinister Weaver Malachi Reeves, intend to use Genevieve as bait for Ignis, the legendary Golden Wyrm. They believe the dragon is nothing more than a monster to be trapped, controlled, and harvested.But when the dragon finally descends from the storm clouds, Genevieve discovers that the beast is far more intelligent-and far more connected to her fate-than anyone imagined. Refusing to die obediently, she draws a secret obsidian dagger sewn into her gown and faces the creature with defiance. Instead of killing her, Ignis tears apart the chains and carries her into the volcanic depths, shielding her from the fall and revealing that the sacrifice was part of a much darker conspiracy.As Genevieve uncovers the secrets beneath Mount Caelum, the truth of the royal bloodline begins to emerge. The dragon is not merely her enemy, and the kingdom’s official history is not what it seems. Meanwhile, the resistance gathers around her. Her sister Victoria Beaumont, who once fled and left Genevieve behind, returns scarred but determined to confront the man responsible for their family’s destruction. Lord Commander Derek Lawson is forced to choose between his lifelong loyalty to King Vincent and the truth he can no longer deny.The final confrontation transforms the balance of power. The dragons stand beside Genevieve, while Victoria and the Ashen Partisans attack the royal forces. Lawson finally turns his sword against the corrupt regime, ordering his soldiers to abandon the siege engines and refuse to spill another drop of blood for House Rhodes. Vincent is left surrounded, stripped of the authority he once believed was absolute.Yet Genevieve’s greatest victory is not revenge. After everything she has endured, she chooses freedom over another throne built upon fear. Valerian, restored to his rightful heritage, also rejects the poisoned crown that once fueled his vengeance. Together, Genevieve and Valerian emerge as symbols of a new beginning-a union of dragon fire and celestial light, forged not through forced sacrifice, but through choice, loyalty, and love. The altar that once demanded a bride’s death becomes the place where an entire kingdom’s lies finally collapse.
