Judess, a nineteen-year-old magic-less prodigy of the blade and a condemned sellsword, is fated to be bait for a monster that should not exist, a dragon. In a world where dragons are remembered as evil gods, blamed for humanity’s extinction at the hands of the Dragon god of Death, their return is a sin that must be erased. But the dragon Judess finds is…not what he expected. She is Sephyr, a demi-dragon she-devil, a cruel and chaotic laughing calamity, the daughter of the Dragon god of Death himself. A single mistake binds them in an unbreakable pact: Judess cannot kill her, and Sephyr cannot kill him, making her his “Bride”. If she dies, then Judess dies too, and if Judess dies, she dies as well. So this is an issue. As her presence scares the world, forgotten dragon gods from another realm arrive and malignant forces creep back into reality, drawn by Sephyr’s bloodline. Hunted by humanity, stalked by dragon gods and otherworldly entities, and chained to a being born to end the world, Judess searches for a way to sever the bond. But the deeper the truth goes, the clearer it becomes that breaking this pact may destroy the world instead of save it.
