Пламенное сердце

Lorelei is a half-elf in a kingdom where this lineage is synonymous with the word "slave." King Umbra keeps everyone captive to his pet dragon, who knows no mercy. Lorelei hides in the shadows and steals to stay alive until a group of rebels makes her an offer she can't refuse. The king is looking for a bride. If Lorelei can get close enough to him, she can plunge a dagger into the heart of this wicked man. But the wedding games are more complex than most others. Lorelei must prove that she is not only beautiful but also talented, balanced, and as deadly as the king. However, the closer she gets to saving her kingdom, the more she realizes that a sharp problem stands in her way. The dragon. The king's bodyguard is more than just a bloodthirsty beast. He's a man. And the longer she is near him, the more she understands that perhaps the king is not the most dangerous man in the kingdom. Perhaps she must guard not only her body but also her heart. The dragon chooses a mate for life, and it is hard for him to part with his treasures.
