Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Jo Beverley presents a romantic fairy tale in which one princess’s idea of happily-ever-after gets turned upside down...
A dragon has invaded Saragond! The time has come for Princess Rozlinda to be sacrificed. She is the designated SVP—the sacrificial virgin princess—and her chaste royal blood will appease the monster and prevent the destruction of the kingdom.
Not to worry! A dragon hasn’t eaten a princess in ages. It’s purely ceremonial now. Just a small cut and a little bit of blood, and Rozlinda will have done her duty. She’ll be free at last to cease being both “S” and “V,” and she has the man in mind.
But things don’t go quite to plan. Someone kills the dragon, and tradition says that the princess must marry the dragon slayer, whoever that may be. Even if it is the terrifying dragon rider of Dorn himself!
Previously appeared as The Dragon and the Virgin Princess in the anthology Dragon Lovers

Customer Reviews
Wonderful Fairytale
First, this is a great dragon story where the dragon has communication skills and isn’t just a horrific beast. Also I loved the life/death connections between the two countries and their shared history. I found it fascinating that although the terrible fate is at first unknown to the heroine, she quickly embraces her responsibilities and then seeks a resolution when she learns of the tragic consequences that will be meted out to her. A wonderful read for those who love a good fairytale.
Disappointed Beverley Fan
Over the years, I have read and thoroughly enjoyed every Jo Beverley novel. Unfortunately, when I purchased "Dragon and the Princess" I didn't know it was a fairy tale. I buy anything written by her, but I had to force myself to finish this novella. It's not her usual style, it is complicated reading (a talking dragon?) and therefore, disappointing.
I prefer her historical romances.
