Eden... A place of perfection, where man and beast live side by side in harmony… Eden’s protector, the silver dragon, regularly visits retribution upon those who would bring harm to paradise. But when the dragon discovers a human girl on the shores of Eden, he decides to raise her as his own. He teaches her that if she is to be welcomed into God’s kingdom after death, she must not harbor hatred in her heart. But when the dragon’s life is mercilessly snuffed out by human machinations, the girl must choose whether to heed his dying wish and stay the course of righteousness…or walk a path of vengeance.

She was called the Dragon Princess by her people, sometimes with contempt, and sometimes with reverence. But 700 years before the Empire's cannon pierced the dragon's breast, there was another girl. Threatened by an evil dragon, the people of a small kingdom formed a pact with a Divine Dragon and flourished under its protection. Brunhild is born into the house of the Dragon Priestesses—the only ones in the land who can understand the dragon's words. Like her mother and her mother's mother before her, she serves the Divine Dragon, cleaning his temple, listening to his sacred words, and gratefully offering him tribute: seven people every month.

A century ago, the divine dragon sealed away the Dragon-Slaying Queen as revenge against the kingdom. But through the dedication of the queen’s successors, the kingdom has enjoyed great prosperity. Kriemhild, the daughter of the fifth queen, ascends to the throne with the same determination to protect the kingdom. Her elder sister Brunhild fell victim to the corruption of divine power, much like predecessors. Bearing that burden, Kriemhild steps into the throne room. But what awaits her is the kingdom's greatest darkness, known only to those who become queens. (Source: Yen Press)
It has been a century since anyone in the Siegfried clan was born with the Power of God. Desperate to keep their grip on the crown, the royal family resorts to sending its scions to a clandestine laboratory once they turn eight in hopes the brutal experiments conducted there will awaken the children to the family’s latent abilities.

Though Sigurd triumphantly returns three years later, bearing unprecedented command over the Power of God, the kind brother Brunhild knew is gone, replaced by a violent boy who has forgotten his own identity. Eventually, Sigurd grows tired of Brunhild and banishes her, only to call her back to the royal palace when she awakens to divine abilities of her own. Now betrothed to her brother, Brunhild must find a way to placate the unstable prince if she is to have any chance of surviving… (Source: Yen Press)
