Seven years of humiliation end in a single moment for Lyanna. On Maiden’s Day, she draws the legendary Dragon’s Breath and discovers Valen Grimm never meant to make her his bride. Then a black dragon descends, and Dragon Lord Valerion Vane steps forward to claim the woman he has secretly loved for years. As Lyanna leaves with him, she at last sees it clearly—she was never destined to beg for love, only to be chosen.
