Kolin Vi

I fell into another world at the worst possible moment—right in the middle of a black dragon’s bride hunt. Before I could even understand what was happening, the most dangerously charming man I had ever seen declared that I belonged to him. According to the dragon’s instincts, I am his true mate. According to politics, he is still supposed to marry the daughter of a neighboring ruler. And according to me? I refuse to become a silent prize in someone else’s game. I am not a possession, and I will not let any man decide my fate. But escaping a dragon who has recognized his true mate is not as easy as it sounds. The dragon’s nature does not care about duty, alliances, or arranged marriages—it only cares about claiming what is his. As court intrigue tightens around us, I find myself trapped between a possessive black dragon, a deadly political bride who wants me gone, and a conspiracy that could destroy far more than my freedom. In a world ruled by power, bloodlines, and dangerous secrets, I will have to decide whether to keep running… or fight for my own destiny. A bold heroine, a possessive dragon, true mates, palace intrigue, and a love torn between duty and desire.
