I Am Dragon (2015)
In the midst of the wedding princess Miroslava is kidnapped by a dragon and carried away into his castle on the remote island. Mira left everything behind in the past - family, friends and groom. Now the only things she had were a stone cage and a mysterious young man named Arman ... but who is he and what is he doing on that island? Miroslava will know the truth too late: loving a dragon will reveal the bitter truth - love is scary.
In I Am Dragon, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “dragon‑ritual romance”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing love, fear, identity, tradition, otherness.
