When the king and queen have found a match for you, everyone expects the crown princess to obey. That she will obediently go to the temple with a savage who considers her a broodmare, that she will give birth to children from him and pass on rare magic to them for the joy of those around her. No, Scarlet Prince Alrom, I will still check what you are worth! Are you really so good that I want to call you my husband.

New Year's gift for beloved readers. A direct sequel to The True Bride, or Farewell to the Dragon, but can be read as a standalone story
