Princess Sloane is trapped. Trapped by her parents in a tower. Trapped in an engagement to her abuser. Trapped in the body of a dragon. But when Sloane falls in love with a different kingdom’s princess she’ll finally break free, even if it takes embracing the monster within #queerpit #f #a

#DVparty Day 4: On a lighthearted note, one of the funnier aspects of the book is when Sloane and Naima finally kiss. Naima thought they had been dating for awhile and just taking it slow on physical intimacy because of Sloanes trauma. Sloane: “Wait, am I gay?”

#DVparty Day 3: The opening lines to Savage Crowns & Golden Beast
A small open window is all that stands between Sloane and freedom— of one sort or another. 
There’s an ache in her chest, a tightness that makes her stare out onto the world in these clear early mornings, a longing to throw open the shutters and leap out into that glittering sun-touched world. 
Maybe she’d soar, her wings carrying her aloft and away, an escape from this tower and this wretched life; but far more likely the delicate, stunted wings folded on her back would fail under her weight and send her plummeting to the ground far below.
	Either way, she’d be free.
	Motes of dust dance in the light of the window as her scales scrape against the grey stone beneath her hands. The wind coming down the mountain is flirtatious, pulling at her hair and dancing around her horns. It buffets her face with demanding hands, the air slipping between the tiny scales on her cheeks and forcing her eyes closed. 
A single step over the stone sill and she’d spend eternity in the wind’s embrace.

Princess Sloane is a bright and resilient young woman, but when we first meet her she is at the end of her rope, a hangman’s rope. She’d rather take her own life than continue to live trapped and abused by her “Prince Charming”.

#DVparty Day 2: Princess Sloane of the Blazing Hills hasn’t been seen or heard from for 10 years. Locked in a tower to hide her cursed form, she waits for her Prince to cure her. But when “True Loves Kiss” fails, he’d rather cut the scales and claws from her body than have a beast for a bride.

#WIPsnips from Savage Crowns & Golden Beasts, as her loyal knight and attendant helps her get ready for an impromptu royal dinner, we get a little glimpse of how Princess Sloane views herself.
The dress is black as midnight with gold seams and detailing around the collar, waist, and hem. The gold matched Sloane’s scales nicely, complimenting her outrageous coloring and bringing out the highlights in her red hair. 
	Speaking of her hair, Liam’s piled it atop her head in gorgeous curls that nestle between her horns with tendrils hanging down to frame her face. They’d even applied the oil Sloane uses to clean her scales and keep them from itching to her face, making the tiny golden scales glitter in the light of the torch.
	Sloane would never be what anyone considers beautiful or attractive, but for one night she’d at least look like a very well put together beast.
