When seventeen-year-old Renmei sets out to become her village’s healer, she dreams only of using her modest magic to mend wounds and save lives. But her destiny shifts the night she finds a wounded dragon dying in the forest. The dragon, known as The Custodian of Cobalt Flames, now reduced to a whisper of spirit; he finds refuge inside Renmei's body to survive. What begins as a haunting turns into an uneasy coexistence: He cannot fully manifest without her, and Renmei cannot remove him without losing the immense magic now flowing through her veins. His presence strengthens her mana core, filling her with power she never imagined—but every spell she casts feels tinged with a heat not entirely her own. Before she can understand what’s happened, the skies darken with the arrival of the dragon’s elder brother—The Dignified Eternal Guardian and Unyielding Sentinel of the Cyan Inferno. In human form, he is as commanding as he is disdainful. He sees Renmei as a reckless mortal who tampered with powers beyond her station, yet he cannot harm her without endangering his beloved brother. Bound by duty and love for his younger brother, he insists that Renmei accompany him across kingdoms to the Ancient Ancestral Pyre, a sacred mountain where souls of the dragons of the east may be reborn. Thus begins an uneasy pilgrimage between mortal and dragonkind. But the closer they draw to the Pyre, the more unstable their bond becomes. The cobalt flame within her grows hungrier, whispering in her dreams, reshaping her magic—and perhaps her humanity.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer
