Elodie nikdy nesnila o palácích a přepychu. Jako dědička chudého vévodství moc dobře ví, co to znamená hlad a bída. Když ji ale požádá o ruku okouzlující princ bohatého ostrovního státu Aurea, bez váhání přijme. Vždyť sňatek s Henrym znamená, že její lid už nikdy nebude trpět! Za pohádkovou nabídkou se však ukrývá tajemství. Temné, zubaté tajemství. Aurea totiž sdílí ostrov s drakem – krvežíznivou bestií, která si výměnou za svoji přízeň žádá krev. Královskou krev. Elodie je ihned po honosné svatbě obětována netvorovi. Bude potřebovat veškerý svůj důvtip, aby v jeskynním bludišti unikla ze spárů jisté smrti a pomstila se všem, kdo ji zradili. Román je výsledkem unikátní spolupráce filmařského týmu Netflixu, v čele s autorem scénáře Danem Mazeau, a bestsellerové autorky New York Times Evelyn Skye.
