I love the magic in this! And I love the dynamic of the Saigas family so much. So glad I read The Dragon's Promise before starting this bcs I have such an attachment to Elang!
I love the (kind of) slow burn between Tru and Elang and even more so when we eventually find out that he fell First and Hard.
So far my favourite book in this lovely 'verse.

Elizabeth Lim's new Romantasy book puts a twist on Beauty and the Beast, where the Beast is a dragon.
The book started off on a slow pace, with Truyan's father setting sail on a voyage to take discovered treasure in the North to the capital. while saving the lives of his crew, his own was lost at sea. Tru's mother turned to gambling once her fortune telling business dried up, losing so much the Madame was going to take Falina, Tru's sister. Tru tried to keep her family afloat by forging paintings in similar styles of artists' existing work to save her family. Tru realizes she can paint the future. While trying to sell a dragon painting of her own design, Tru is chased by the Madame's men, leading her to the Deamon Prince, Elang's place, where he gives her the ring from her vision to pay off her mother's debts. in exchange for this he will name his price once they meet again.
The bargain: To help Elang break his exile so I may return to Ai’long. To do so, Elang must "fall in love with a human—and bring my bride with me to Ai’long.”
I really loved the dynamic of the sisters protecting each other despite their Mom's abuse and neglect. athe chemistry between Elang and Tru is the chef's kiss.
I am excited to continue to read this duology in book 2.
I received an ARC from Netgalley but all thoughts are my own.
