A reclusive Federation communications analyst named Aeron uncovers a secret threat to the dragon-shifter planet of Qurilixen and, with her sister's scheming help, ends up entered as a prospective bride at the alien bridal festival meant to save the world she's trying to warn. High Duke Bron has endured years of failed matchmaking ceremonies, but the moment he meets Aeron he's convinced she's his destined mate, even though she insists she's only there on a secret mission. The book blends sci-fi world-building, dragon-shifter mythology, and a marriage-market setup as the two leads navigate mistrust, duty, and an impending attack on Bron's people. It can be read as a standalone within the larger Qurilixen World universe.
