A throne claimed through a dangerous bond

When her sister is cursed just before her coronation, Princess Meera takes the throne of Ezo and faces its unusual claim to rule: she must win the recognition of a sea dragon. Her appeal to the Saints changes the stakes, binding her life to the dragon’s as the kingdom faces invasion. The story brings together succession, a curse, and a partnership between two beings who see each other’s weaknesses differently. Its fantasy-romance premise centers on the costs of leadership and the uneasy connection between a princess and a dragon.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fantasy romance
  • Readers who enjoy stories featuring dragons, curses, and royal succession
  • Readers seeking a standalone YA fantasy with a romance described as having no spice

Book overview

An award-winning YA fantasy romance perfect for fans of Howl's Moving Castle and Six Crimson Cranes!

 

With her crooked spine and reckless heart, Princess Meera always knew she wasn't meant to become queen of Ezo. But when her sister, the rightful heir, is cursed on the eve of her coronation, Meera must defend her kingdom from ruthless invaders by taking the throne. Yet, while some countries have simple coronations, in Ezo . . . the princess must first claim a sea dragon.

Only the dragon is vicious, perfect, and whole-everything Meera is not. And if the dragon doesn't deem her worthy, it will devour her. Turning to the Saints for help, she doesn't anticipate that her actions will transform the dragon into a mortal, or that she'll steal his heart . . . literally.

Now, as two hearts beat inside Meera's chest, she's reminded that her life is entwined with a dragon, who despises her weaknesses. Despite their differences, they must work together to reverse the curse and save the kingdom before more is lost than their stolen hearts.

 

Divine Rivals meets The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea in this lyrical, heart-grabbing YA fantasy debut. Saints and Monsters is perfect for readers craving a page-turning standalone with no-spice romance, dragons, and happily ever after.
