A future painted into a dangerous bargain

Truyan Saigas’s gift for painting the future is also a tool of forgery, but it cannot resolve her family’s debts or explain her father’s disappearance. A marriage contract with a dragon lord offers her mother and sisters a fresh start—and draws Truyan into his undersea palace and a scheme to enter the Dragon King’s inner circle. The bargain connects a family’s immediate need for security with a conspiracy that threatens both mortal and immortal realms. Framed as a Beauty and the Beast-inspired romantic fantasy, the story brings together prophetic art, a cursed dragon lord, family obligation, and deception around the pursuit of power.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in young adult fantasy romance with a Beauty and the Beast inspiration.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving prophetic art, dragons, and undersea settings.
  • Readers who enjoy plots linking family stakes with schemes against powerful rulers.

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A breathtaking romantic fantasy inspired by Beauty and the Beast about a girl who paints the future and a cursed dragon lord, bound by love and deception in a plot to bring down the gods.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes!

"Everything I love in a story--danger, complex characters, romance, betrayal and gorgeous writing." --Mary E. Pearson, New York Times bestselling author of Dance of Thieves


Truyan Saigas didn't choose to become a con artist, but after her father is lost at sea, it's up to her to support her mother and two younger sisters. A gifted art forger, Tru has the unique ability to paint the future, but even such magic is not enough to put her family back together again, or stave off the gangsters demanding payment in blood for her mother's gambling debts.

Left with few options, Tru agrees to a marriage contract with a mysterious dragon lord. He offers a fresh start for her mother and sisters and elusive answers about her father's disappearance, but in exchange, she must join him in his desolate undersea palace. And she must assist him in a plot to infiltrate the tyrannical Dragon King's inner circle, painting a future so treasonous, it could upend both the mortal and immortal realms. . . .
