Fire dreamed of water, but the first sip would be its last.

Gilde has spent her life isolated in the wild marshlands, a place too wet for the dragon to go. She’s safe there, according to her father. So why is he asking her to leave with him now that she has come of age? There is more to Gilde’s family than she knows, and debts need to be paid.

Betrayed and shattered, she wakes in a crumbling mountain castle with the beast of her nightmares. Except this dragon speaks like a man and reads books. His kindness confuses her and opens a forgotten longing in her heart, all while Gilde plans her escape from a mountain full of secrets.

This place can unveil her past and why she was sacrificed to the beast—truths that may put both their lives in danger if they can’t learn to trust each other. But how can Gilde ever trust again? Especially after she discovers what dragons truly are.

Gorgeous Love Story

Beautiful love story with knowing your identity and worth and sacrifice for love. Starts a little slow but when it gets to the really good stuff it stays that way for the remainder.

This story warmed my heart

This book was better than expected. Loss, love, betrayal, and kindness. I was intrigued from the start and didn’t want to put it down. It was hard not to love and root for some of the characters. The only reason I give it a 4/5 is because there were parts of the story that gave me some serious “Beauty and the Beast” vibes. It didn’t ruin the story though. Overall great book, satisfying ending.

Imaginative, fun, satisfying fantasy

This story takes several tales and mixes them together to bring an entirely new one to life. Loved the various ways the characters reacted to relationships and the focus on greed versus service and self-preservation v sacrifice. Excellent listen!

One of the BEST BOOKS I've EVER Read!!!

What is there to dislike about this book? From the very beginning, the writing and the narrator's performance drew me in, and I never wanted to stop reading. I honestly think I may have read this all in one sitting if I could have. The story was amazing, twisting in ways that surprised me. The analogy it provides about sin nature, struggling with sin, and how one is freed from it was sooooo cool! The characters were so well done, all different and all believable and intriguing. And the romance, oh my word, it was so perfect and sweet! I was also very impressed with the narrator, her ability to portray each of individual's voices so well that I knew who was speaking before it actually said, and on top of that, The emotional weight of her performance was really phenomenal. What else can I say, I LOVED this book! This is the kind of writing and stories we need more of in the world.

Really fantastic

Very interesting story. A different angle than I had expected. Beautiful and very impactful. Very sweet too.
