Book description
The only thing protecting me from the demons…is the beast.
Nyfain, the golden dragon prince, tried to set me free. But there is no freedom in this kingdom. Not for anyone.
The demons have sought me out. They want to trap me. To use me against Nyfain.
It’s only a matter of time before they call in the demon king.
Nyfain thinks I should save myself. That I should barter with the demon king to escape this place.
But can I give myself to the creature responsible for torturing the people I love?
In order to save them, though, I might not have a choice.

We’ve provided the Dirty Dozen below; twelve spicy and intriguing questions to spark discussion and help you uncover the spine-tingling depths of the story.
The Dirty Dozen
Foreplay – Warm Up Questions
1. What’s the overall spice level? 1 (Not Spicy) – 10 (Spiciest Thing I’ve Ever Read)?
2. How does the spice level compare to the other books we’ve read together?
3. Imagine you’re magically trapped with one bookshelf like Finley (and Belle). How would you feel? Which ones would you want them to be? And what’s the one book you’d give anything to read again for the first time?
The Spicy Bits – Gettin’ Down and Dirty with the Plot
4. The slow-burn letter exchange between Nyfain and Finley — swoony or frustrating? Would you have raced back to him or let the pen pal romance simmer?
5. How did you feel as you read the difference in feelings/treatment between Nyfain the dragon and Nyfain the man?
6. Finley, Nyfain, and their inner beasts — How would you feel if you were in this 4-way dynamic? Would this drive you wild in the best way or give you an identity crisis?
7. Do you agree with the former queen’s idea that “there is a book for every single moment?” Have you ever had a book find you at just the right (or wrong) moment?
8. Do you agree with Finley that “decorating a table is a job for daisies or tulips or something. I’ll keep the roses outside and wild.”?
9. Finley’s take on survival and fairness is 🔥: “Living shouldn’t come with a price tag.” Do you agree, or is it more complicated when power, politics, and scarcity get involved?
10. How do you feel about natural places? Finley believes every place has a vibe that helps her center herself.
11. “He was more than a mighty warrior – he was a bringer of life. Those two qualities in one man… he was perfectly suited to be our king.” What kind of qualities do you think people need to be a leader?
Aftercare – Final Thoughts
12. Do you think happily-ever-afters (HEA) create unrealistic expectations for reality?
