Solstice dragons live in the mountains of the range. They are intelligent and maintain peace with the humans due to a long-standing agreement, known as The Bargain to the dragons and The Don't Eat Humans Clause to the human populations.

I’ve read quite a few fairy tale rewrites, and this is one of the best I’ve come across. The basic Beauty and the Beast story line is there, but there is so much more that makes this into its own story. ~ Amazon review by J. Simpson. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
