Více o knize

A damsel in distress takes on the dragon herself in this epic twist on classic fantasy. Based on a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, this collaboration between a bestselling author and the team behind the upcoming Netflix film features a unique story. Elodie, raised in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, dreams not of riches or romance but of helping her people survive. When a representative from the affluent kingdom of Aurea offers her family wealth in exchange for her hand in marriage, she agrees without hesitation. Upon arriving in Aurea, Elodie is charmed by its beauty and her betrothed, Prince Henry. However, as she prepares to become a princess, unsettling signs emerge: a mysterious woman in the castle tower, strange markings, and a procession of torches in the mountains. Elodie soon learns that Aurea’s prosperity comes at a terrible price—each harvest season, the kingdom sacrifices its princesses to a dragon, and she is next. This ancient tradition has claimed the lives of many women, but their spirits hold the key to Elodie's survival. With her life on the line, she must summon her courage and cleverness to confront the dragon, unravel Aurea’s dark history, and secure her own future and that of her new kingdom.
