Of Dresses and Dragons (The Tarakona Chronicles Volume 1) - A Jane Dove

A spicy, enemies-to-lovers romantasy, full of dragons, mystery, and magic.

Twenty years ago Tarakona was saved from the ravages of war when every magic user agreed to surrender their talents to the royal family. Powerful users, like Rhea Coronos’s mother, were rewarded for their sacrifice with not only peace, but senior positions in the castle for them and their children.

Determined to have a life beyond lady-in-waiting to Princess Briar, Rhea accepts a challenge. All she has to do is find a suitable dragon for Briar’s coming of age and Briar will approve her marriage to the dashing Count Romano.

Her life will finally be what she wants it to be.

But when she meets the irreverent dragon trainer Garrett Thorne, her world begins to crumble.

Something in her has awakened and is drawn to him.

And something is making her mother — and so many others in the castle — very ill.

Things are not what they seem. Maybe they never were.
