The main character (FMC) is a dragon whose family was killed when she was a child.

She was kept in captivity for several years before being sold to fae.

The story is more focused on revenge than romance.

FMC demonstrates resilience and strength without being overly emotional.

Her escape from captivity leads her to seek revenge on the dragons that wronged her.

The male dragon shifters are depicted as desperate to rescue their mate.

FMC does not want to bond with her male mates because of her hatred for dragons.

The book has a cliffhanger ending that leads into a sequel.

There is little romance in this first part of the duet, with more emphasis on the plot.

The FMC exhibits traits of being smart and having a strong backbone throughout the story.

Sensitive Topics/Content Warnings

The book includes themes of trauma, captivity, and a world where women have less power, which may be triggering for some readers.

Has Romance?

While romance is present, it is not the primary focus, as the main character pursues her goals of revenge.

From The Publisher:

I am a dragon who hates dragons.

The dragons murdered my family. The dragons stole me. The fae purchased me. My mates saved me.

My mates imprisoned me.

They think they're keeping me safe. They think they know what I need. What all delicate, feminine, gold dragons need. A comfortable den. A well-stocked pantry. Twenty children.

That's not what this gold dragon needs. This gold dragon needs blood. This gold dragon needs revenge .

The (Not) Cursed Dragon is book one of the Deadly Dragons Duet. It is a slow burn, reverse harem romance for readers 18+
