Belle has spent her entire life being underestimated, dismissed as too mortal and too powerless to matter. That changes the moment a dragon abducts her mentor, forcing her to venture into forbidden lands to secure his rescue. She finds herself trapped in the domain of a cursed, ruthless dragon shifter king—a man who is more monster than human and who is convinced that Belle is an assassin sent to destroy him. To save her mentor, Belle strikes a dangerous bargain: her life in exchange for his freedom. However, the king’s castle is a place of whispering walls and dark secrets, where the boundary between captor and captive begins to dissolve. As a mysterious prophecy binds their fates together, Belle must navigate the king's volatile nature and his hidden motives. Is he protecting her, or is he simply keeping her close until the perfect moment to strike? Featuring a high-stakes slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, *Kingdom of Roses and Flame* is a gripping retelling of *Beauty and the Beast*. With time running out and her kingdom on the brink of ruin, Belle must decide if she can trust the very beast she was meant to hate before the fire consumes them both.
