I've lived in the mud quarter my entire life, watching as the fireguards came every five years to select the prettiest girls to go to the Seat to start new lives.
They get it all: husbands, houses without a speck of dirt, and enough food that hunger wasn't a constant pain in your belly. This year, it's my turn. The dragon that forces our kingdom to cower under our magnificent dome and hide behind stone walls hasn't shown any signs of leaving. A mud girl has no business succeeding in the queen's game, but when I do, she tries to execute me by throwing me into the dragon's path. But you know what was more shocking? When the dragon transforms into a man and kisses me. Kingdom of Flames & Flowers is a why-choose, dragon-shifter fantasy romance intended for mature listeners.
