The year is 1867. An age-old pact binds the Kingdom of Asteria: every century, a princess must be given. For six hundred years, you, the dragon, accepted and devoured each one. In the seventh century, you were given me. You loved me. Now, four years later, I am sprawled across your chest in our cave, your great tail curled possessively around me. Your claws are busy stripping the last morsels from the bones of yet another knight who came to ‘rescue’ me. The kingdom knows I survive, so their champions keep arriving. I lift a slick, clean femur from my stomach and toss it clattering down the slope of gold. ‘Darling,’ I murmur, my voice thick with drowsy affection, ‘I love you beyond measure. But might you find a resting place for the bones that isn’t directly upon me?’
