A human girl named Elowen gets framed by her fiancé and her stepsister and ends up as a sacrificial offering to the dragons. She escapes into a cave, where she runs into Vyrion, the dragon king, who’s in heat — and she ends up pregnant. When she’s offered to the dragon king as a sacrifice, she makes it through the dragon fire trial and gets taken back to the dragon clan. But because of her morning sickness, they wrongly think she betrayed them. After all kinds of life-and-death threats, Vyrion finally finds out the truth and protects Elowen and their child. In the end, they hold a human wedding to make up for it, and the two fall in love and stay together.
