In a last attempt at peace, Clove, the last princess of a near-extinct Dragon clan, is forced into a political marriage with an enemy Prince. Sacrificing herself for the well-being of her country.
The Azure dragon clan has been at war with the Crimson dragon clan for the last 300 years, and unfortunately for the Azure dragons, they are losing. Its territory has been devastated by constant conflicts, its people are starving.
An arranged marriage between Prince Kyro of the Crimson dragons clan and Princess Clove of the Azure dragons seems to be the solution, but will it be?
Political interests and personal vendettas get in the way of the long-awaited peace and both Princess Clove and Prince Kyro must play their cards well because although they hold the titles of Prince and Princess, the truth is that they do not have the necessary power or influence, so they must look for allies.
But how to know who they can trust? How to make sure the people around them are friends or foe?
And socio-political issues aside, there's the fact that for better or worse, Kyro and Clove are married, so they must know and find a way to get along.
What could possibly go wrong…? A lot of stuff, let me tell you.
This is the first volume of the webtoon comic of the same name and covers the first 25 chapters in its print version, but on the webtoon platform the comic is already in its 190+ chapter, which is great!
Thanks to Netgally and Oni Press for this excellent ARC. It's a great story involving political turmoil and a beautiful love story between enemies. And let's do not forget the artist's magnificent skills.

Arc Copy...I don't I'm split on this. Although the art, a fiery princess and political intrigue and workings are solid, the romance wasn't working out for me and...Oh my horrifyingly abusive!

I really enjoyed this one. I’ve read a handful of graphic novels now, and while I often like them, they usually leave me feeling like something’s missing—like I needed just a bit more world-building or character depth to fully click. But SubZero? It totally hit the sweet spot.
The tension between Clove and Kyro was so good—like, the kind of enemies-to-lovers that makes you want to scream into a pillow because the angst. Junepurrr pulled it off perfectly. There’s this push and pull between them, with just enough softness under the surface to make you hope something’s going to shift, but still enough bite to keep you on edge.
What really stood out, though, was the world-building. Graphic novels can sometimes feel a little thin there, but Junepurrr handled it differently. She dropped in really specific details that made everything feel grounded and alive without needing pages of explanation. I never felt lost. Plus, the dragon lore, the 300-year war, and the contrast between the courts added so much weight to the story. It gave the characters real stakes and ultimately made me care for them more.
I especially loved how Clove and Kyro were both figuring things out in their own way. They’re young, they’re rulers, and they’re caught in this impossible political situation. There are still a lot of secrets between them, their families and their courts. I honestly can’t wait to see what happens next / what’s revealed.
If you’re someone who mostly reads romantasy and haven’t dipped into graphic novels yet, this is such a good place to start. It’s got romance, tension, mystery, and just enough fantasy elements to feel immersive without being overwhelming. I’ll be grabbing Volume 2 as soon as I can because I need to know what’s next.
