The Dragon's Contract Bride

In a society shared by humans and dragons, magic is essential to controlling the dragons’ violent frenzy. Candidates for the Dragon Lord throne form marriage pacts with women from influential magical families, turning love and loyalty into tools of political ambition. Anastasia, a gifted daughter of one such family, once used her power to support Dmitri’s rise. Her devotion ends in betrayal when Dmitri and her own sister turn against her, leaving Anastasia to die in prison. At the edge of death, she uses a forbidden spell and returns to the moment before Dmitri proposes. With knowledge of the future and no intention of serving as anyone’s pawn again, Anastasia faces the struggle for power on her own terms. She must confront the people who ruined her life while pursuing revenge, self-determination, and a new path through the competition for the throne.
