Bride of Ignat, Volume 1

This beautifully illustrated fantasy BL, a 2025 Chill Chill Award winner, tells the story of Rita, a young man chosen by his village to become the 'Dragon's Bride,' and Ignat, the mythical dragon-turned-man to whom Rita is sacrificed. Rita's warmth and determination thaw Ignat's long-frozen heart as a quiet, mystical romance unfolds beneath a world of snow, legend, and magic. Moyori Mori, a rising star in BL storytelling, crafts a tender, high-stakes saga about identity, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love. The tale blends ethereal art with emotionally charged dialogue, inviting readers into a dangerous yet intimate pact between human and dragon. The first volume introduces a beloved myth—where a forbidden union heals a lonely heart and reveals that legends may be more real than they appear. A must-see for fans seeking lush world-building and compassionate, non-traditional romance.
