Under an ancient treaty between the elven kingdom and the dragon lords, a royal princess must be surrendered to the volcanic caverns to bear an imperial heir. When the elven queen blackmails her husband's illegitimate daughter Lora to substitute for the spoiled Princess Bella, Lora expects agonizing death in the dragon's lair. Instead, the newly crowned Prince Draven offers an honorable bargain: provide an heir to secure his throne, and he will liberate her enslaved mother.
As gentle affection blossoms within the scorched stone halls, Lora carries his unborn child with pride. But when war erupts and Draven falls gravely injured, Bella infiltrates the sanctuary to steal credit for Lora's healing elixirs. Lora must survive enemy capture and palace treachery to reclaim her destined crown alongside the dragon king.
