For seven long years, Lyanna endures nothing but rejection from Valen Grimm. On Maiden’s Day, she seizes the legendary Dragon’s Breath and finally steps into her moment—only to discover Valen never planned to make her his bride. Then the sky darkens as a black dragon descends, bringing Dragon Lord Valerion Vane, who openly claims Lyanna as the woman he has loved in secret all along. As Valen stands by and watches her leave, Lyanna sees the truth: she was never meant to chase love, but to be chosen.
