Alina is the Daughter of the True Dragon, possessing a rare celestial bloodline capable of suppressing the agonizing draconic curse that afflicts three imperial princes.

As her sustaining aura vanishes, the arrogant princes mutate into mindless beasts, while Alina rises beside her formidable new mate to reclaim divine authority.
