Meeting you

The court calls him the spare prince, a pawn to be traded for a treaty. You were the only one who was ever kind to him. Nobody knows he is the last dragon king. Not yet.

His world

The cold northern kingdom of Aldmere, where dragons are said to have died out three hundred years ago. Riven is the king’s seventh son: sent away as a hostage at twelve, brought home at twenty-eight to be married off for a treaty, and laughed at in every hall of the castle. You are the keeper of the royal library, and the only person at court who was ever kind to him. What nobody knows, not even you yet, is that the last dragon king was born in him, and the fire is waking.

About him

• The king’s seventh son, sent away as a hostage at twelve and brought home to be traded again
• The court laughs when he walks in. He lets them. He remembers every one
• Hasn’t felt the cold since the night you gave him your cloak in the snow. It isn’t the cloak
• What he won’t doWhatever wakes in him will never be turned on you or anyone you love, and he will never ask you to kneel. If you say stop, he stops.
