Lord Jasen de Grumhul ha vivido toda su vida con su padre borracho y apostador en un pueblo que carece de magia, hasta que la buena fortuna le sonríe y hace que su padre gane la entrada para ser prospecto de consorte para la alta clase. Unfortunately, the two can't be separated, and Jasen must decide if true love is worth all the trouble. Jasen loves Rilvor, but he's petrified about becoming lord consort to a king. But the growing affection between them can't be denied. No one, including Jasen himself, thinks he's a proper match for the king. He must take a spouse this year, and the fight for his favor has gotten downright vicious. The King serves as the mystical link between the magic of the dragons and humankind since the death of his wife two years before, magic in the Allied Realms has suffered. He isn't looking to cause a scandal, but that's exactly what happens when he immediately attracts the attention of both a powerful dragon and King Rilvor himself.

Jasen's courtly manners aren't the most refined (to say the least), but he hopes he's still capable of attracting at least a minor lord. With no money and no skills to earn a living, his best bet for getting away from his father is to present himself for marriage at Court in the Draelands, the kingdom at the center of the Allied Realms.

Or rather, his father has the problem, but since he's gambled away everything that was rightfully Jasen's, it's become his problem, too. Lord Jasen of Grumhul has a gambling problem.
