Kianthe and Reyna are ready to finally walk down the aisle, and in just seven days their wedding of a wifetime will become a reality. There's still so much to do but, like all best-laid plans, everything seems to be going awry.

Their baby dragons are causing mayhem in the town of Tawney, and Kianthe’s uptight parents have invited themselves to the wedding. Yet, worst of all, Reyna has become embroiled in a secret plot to overthrow Queen Tilaine. The world seems against them – and how are they going to live long enough to say ‘I do’?

To anyone who thinks a relationship like Kianthe and Reynas isn't "realistic," but secretly wants it so badly it hurts... don't worry. Somewhere in the world, there is someone who will bake you cookies and buy you swords and fight your dragons.

"Wait. Is there a God of Puns?”Kianthe gasped, bouncing on her toes. 

 Despite everything, laughter bubbled in Reyna's chest. "Yes, and I’m convinced it's punishing me for the wrongdoings of my life." 

Granted, this time Reyna was with her-dressed in the fanciest outit Kianthe had ever seen. The long dress hugged her hips in all the right ways, its skirt swaying as they walked through town. Kianthe kept lagging a few steps behind just to get a better look. 

After the third time, Reyna stopped. "Key. If something's wrong with the dress, now is the time to tell me." 

"What in the world would imply something's wrong?" Kianthe grinned slyly. "I’m admiring, because damn." Reyna's cheeks had been powdered several shades lighter than her rose skin tone. In contrast, her lips were painted rouge and Kianthe brusheda thumb over them almost reverently. “I just… never see you like this.”

"You believe strength is pushing others down so you can stand higher:" Reyna bent to Tilaine's level for the very last time. "I believe strength is the support of those closest to me. Without them, I am nothing."
