His Unwanted Fiancée Is The Kingdom's Genius
“For three years, I hid my genius as the Valedictorian of the Capital, designing siege weapons in the dark so my fiancé, Jace, could take all the credit. I lived quietly as his plain, "Dragonless" shadow. But at his victory banquet, he publicly gifted my dead mother's sacred dragon relic to his new lover. When I demanded it back and brought my war-hero parents' ashes to his estate to officially cut ties, his mother violently shoved me. The urn shattered on the marble floor, scattering my parents' remains into the dirt. Instead of helping, Jace blamed me for provoking her and demanded an extortionate 100,000 Gold Dragons to annul our engagement. Later, when we were caught in an assassin's ambush at a local tavern, Jace shoved me directly into the path of a poisoned blade. "Elianna, get behind me!" he yelled, using me as a human shield to protect his lover. Staring at his retreating back as the blade rushed toward my heart, the last microscopic fragment of my humanity regarding him died. I had given him everything, and he treated my life-and my family's legacy-like worthless trash. But the blade never pierced my skin. A blinding flash of white-gold dragonfire incinerated the assassin, and the terrifying, pure-blooded Dragon King wrapped a strong arm around my waist. It was time for the Davidson family to learn what happens when you cross the smartest woman in the kingdom.”
