Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Love Child is the product of a one-night stand between a noble Prize dragoness and a consort to an Omen Wyrm queen. Her mother has never revealed who Love Child's real father is in order to protect her from the queen's wrath, but Love Child still seeks the truth. Even though her mother's family loves her unconditionally, she feels a pull to her darker, fiercer desires. One day, Love Child will find the truth behind her birth and learn why her heart feels more shadowed than others of her kind.
