Determined to save her late-father’s estate, a young woman flaunts the gold skin she loathes to win the Crown Prince’s favor, but also snags the attention of a dangerously alluring rebel leader—and the wyverns that hunt her kind to fuel their fiery breath.

Then again, maybe her cruel kingdom deserves to burn

…and she can spark the blaze.

Netflix’s Bridgerton meets the Plated Prisoner series with Dragons Wyverns

Aubrey’s gold skin brands her a living, breathing treasure—and she hates it.

High nobles covet Golds like her as trophy wives, while monstrous wyverns hunt her kind to fuel their fiery breath.

Kept locked away and ruthlessly groomed by her stepmother to be the perfect bride, Aubrey finally gets her chance at freedom when the Crown Prince announces he’s seeking a wife. Only a high nobleman’s power can tear her late-father’s estate from her stepmother’s greedy clutches, so Aubrey dons the loathsome gold-revealing gown and charges into high society—sights set on the Prince.

Until rebels ambush her carriage.

She expects to be kidnapped and bled for a fortune—gold blood like hers fetches a fantastic price—but the enigmatic rebel leader, Abel, has more cunning plans. Worse yet, each time Abel swaggers across her path, the tingles down her spine remind her: only he looks at her like she’s a person, not a purchase.

But only high nobility possess the specialized armor to protect her from wyverns.

Entice the Prince to marry her… or become fuel to monsters.

Then again, maybe her cruel kingdom deserves to burn—and she can spark the blaze.
