Gold skin. Gold blood. She’s a living, breathing treasure…
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 they all deserve to burn
…and she can spark the blaze.

Netflix’s Bridgerton meets the Plated Prisoner series with Dragons Wyverns
Gold skin. Gold blood. I’m a living, breathing treasure.
…and they will have me.
To Nobles, I’m a trophy wife.
To the monstrous Wyverns, I’m fuel for their fiery breath.
To my stepmother, I’m a gilded ticket to riches. For years she’s kept me isolated, ruthlessly training me for a chance at the crown.
All I want is freedom. For myself, for those I love. And to save the tiny piece of my dead father I have left: the crumbling estate my stepmother’s sucked dry.
So when the Prince announces he’s seeking a bride, I finally have my chance. I might be sheltered and naive, but I’ve been beaten, starved, and bled for this. I will be perfect. So perfect he won’t be able to choose anyone but me.
The only thing I’m not prepared for?
The crown’s most wanted rebel.
Abel is dangerous, infuriatingly charming, and the rebellion’s leader. I expect him to kidnap and bleed me for a fortune—gold blood fetches a staggering price. Instead, he whispers secrets that threaten everything I believe about my father—and my kingdom.
Worse, he’s the first to treat me like a person, not a purchase.
But with winged monsters darkening the skies, I need protection only the high nobility can provide.
Entice the Prince to marry me… or become fuel to fire-breathing wyverns.
Everywhere I turn, my gold is a commodity or liability
I’ll make it a weapon.
If Netflix’s Bridgerton had dragons wyverns… GILDED SCARS AND WYVERNFIRE is the first book in an epic romantic fantasy trilogy full of betrayals, court scheming, airships, grand balls, morally grey heroes, and a slow-burn series-end HEA. Perfect for romantasy fans of Gild/The Plated Prisoner series, ACOTAR, Daughter of No Worlds, Fourth Wing, Spark of the Everflame, and When The Moon Hatched.
